We (in Sonora Cohousing, Tucson) used a process similar to the one described below by Robert I do recall having our architect pick a palette, but for some reason(s) we decided to go to a local team of color consultants instead. I think most of us have been quite pleased with the results. In any case, as the vegetation becomes more pronounced/dominant, the color of the houses makes a more subtle difference in the overall aesthetics (while initially it was the most noticeable element).
