Hello @everyone , @Charlottekn , @chojrak , @ciane , @fatness1974 , @Hidehi , @IdahoGal65 , @ks0, @Sandraelle , @soocoolsim , @texansky .
The "Cape Albacore Planning Committee" members are pleased to release an approved palette for residential exteriors. The "Building Guidelines" on page 1 have been updated and also now contain a section on colours including HEX / R,G,B codes for accents. Do bear in mind, these colours will render differently depending on the textures you use so may not look exactly as depicted below.
We hope you find this useful as we grow this lovely city, and ask all builders to review the updated information copied below. :D
