Residential Color Palette

Prior to painting your home, you are required to obtain a no-fee paint color permit from the City of Cerritos. To assist residents in making color selections, the City maintains an approved residential color palette, which provides all of the colors that are approved for use on the exterior of any residential structure, including stucco, wood siding, trim, and accents. To view the City’s residential color palette and/or obtain samples of approved colors please visit the Department of Community Development at City Hall.
