McCormick Colonial Exterior Colors

The official color scheme of Leewood is based on McCormick Colonial Colors. Over the years they have reduced the number of Colonial colors they offer, and in 2006 the ARC decided to include most of McCormick's Chesapeake Colors in the selections that they will approve. The Chesapeake colors must be mixed at the counter, as would their older colors from the colonial charts.

Any change of colors must be approved by the ARC. Fill out a form and mail it in to request approval of your color scheme. In general, Leewood has a two color house scheme with the shutters and door usually being the darker of the two colors and the trim being white or a shade of beige. Many houses in Leewood are painted in colors from the older charts -- when you look at the paint charts below, it would not be unusual for you to not see your own color in that. For example many houses in Leewood are painted Deep Forest Brown (224). You can continue painting your house its original color without ARC approval, unless at some point the house was painted a variant color without approval.

We have scanned in the latest charts. Due to variables in color monitors and printers, the colors will not be exactly what you would get with the paint but hopefully this will help you get started. Use the back arrow on your browser to return to this page once you get on a paint chip page.

The McCormick paint site lists some of the stores where their paints are available. In addition, Fischer's hardware carries McCormick paint. At these stores you should be able to get a color chart and/or paint chips. Unfortunately, it does not appear that the McCormick site has color chips for exterior paint.
