Color Swatches
Include high-resolution swatches and HEX/RGB/Pantone values so designers and vendors reproduce exact hues across print and digital mediums, reducing visual drift.
A written template reduces ambiguity, speeds approvals, and helps teams maintain brand consistency and ADA-friendly contrast across listing photos, virtual tours, and on-site signage; it also provides a documented record if disputes arise over advertised property features.
Use the template as a living reference tied to each property record, and keep a dated copy with the property file to document what was represented to prospective renters or buyers.
Include high-resolution swatches and HEX/RGB/Pantone values so designers and vendors reproduce exact hues across print and digital mediums, reducing visual drift.
Specify where each color is used (exterior trim, interior wall, accent, signage) and any restrictions such as 'no primary logo placement' or 'do not use on floor plans'.
Record WCAG contrast ratio measurements for text-on-background combinations to support accessible signage and digital listings for users with low vision.
Map colors to property zones (street-facing facade, entryway, unit interior) and link to photos or floor plans so installers know exact placement.
Capture approver name, title, date, and any conditional notes to provide an audit trail for marketing and compliance reviews.
List approved paint manufacturers, finish codes, and application instructions to avoid substitutions that change appearance or durability.
Maintain a single source of truth by storing signed PDFs and metadata in your property management or document system using integrations such as CRM or cloud storage.
