When submitting Colors for a design, users will be able to select the MATERIAL TYPE, MANUFACTURER, and COLOUR for each available finish.
The available MATERIAL and MANUFACTURER options cannot be changed, and if any are missing, please contact your Architectural Coordinator.
COLOUR options, especially since they so frequently can vary from year to year, can be submitted as a custom color.
To Submit a Custom Colour
- Click the "+" symbol next to the Colour dropdown box.
- Enter your custom color name. (TIP: Follow existing naming conventions).
- Add a comment providing a reason why a custom color is needed/requested.
Important: Please do not add colours in the comments field. Colors added in the comments will not be visible on LotWorks Maps, instead appearing as "N/A" (value submitted in the COLOR field).
Doing this makes it much more difficult for neighboring lots to avoid conflicts, and greatly increases the chance that your submission will be rejected.
Approval Process
During the architectural review, the Architectural Coordinator will see a very clear indication that a custom color has been requested. They will be able to:
- Approve/Reject that custom colour, and
- Choose whether to add that custom colour to the available color database.
To ensure prompt approval of your colors, please ensure typos are avoided, and a comment/reason is added. If there is an existing naming convention (e.g. 9092 Cherry Red, 2042 Pineapple Yellow), please submit your new custom colour using the same format.
