Selecting Colors for Ancala HOA
Choosing the right colors for your home within the Ancala Homeowners Association (HOA) is an important step to maintain the community's aesthetic harmony. As of October 16, 2025, the Ancala HOA has partnered with Benjamin Moore to provide a curated list of approved colors, ensuring that all residences align with the neighborhood's standards while offering homeowners flexibility and style. This guide outlines the process and considerations for selecting colors, leveraging the approved palette to enhance your property's appeal.
Understanding the Approved Color List
The Ancala HOA has established a comprehensive list of Benjamin Moore colors, each with a specific Light Reflective Value (LRV) to balance light and dark tones across the community. The approved colors range from light creams and beiges to deeper taupes and browns, catering to various architectural styles. Homeowners benefit from a 20% discount on paint products and sundry items at designated Arizona Paint Supply locations, making it easier to select and apply these colors.
Key Considerations
- LRV Guidelines: The minimum LRV for body colors is 15, with some darker shades (below 15) approved for trim only. Maximum LRV varies by subdivision, so verify with The Management Trust portal.
- Community Aesthetic: Colors should complement neighboring homes and the natural desert landscape.
- Approval Process: Use the revised Paint Request Form on the TMT Portal (https://my.managementtrust.com/Home_v2/Login) and paint a 4’x4’ sample square for verification if not from the pre-approved list.
How to Choose Your Colors
- Review the Palette: Explore the full list of 67 approved Benjamin Moore colors, organized by number, name, and LRV. Lighter shades like "Home Sweet Home" (LRV 60) offer a bright facade, while darker options like "Cowboy Boots" (LRV 15) add depth to accents.
- Test Samples: Visit Arizona Paint Supply locations to obtain samples and test them on your home’s exterior, considering lighting conditions at different times of day.
- Consult the ACC: For colors outside the list, submit a request to the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) with swatches and justification.
