For instance, clients may seek your expertise on choosing the right gutter color, front door color, or roof colors.\n\nDeck stain is also a big decision that some clients have a difficult time making.

This color palette will offer a variety of cohesive schemes for their homeowners to choose from.\n\nThis service allows HOA\u2019s to offer beautiful, on-trend color schemes that can easily be approved. This resource save lots of time and energy. It also decreases the likelihood of homeowners going rogue and painting their own, not-so-great schemes without approval.\n\nHOA\u2019s know that if they keep their homeowners happy, their jobs will be much easier. By choosing to invest into working with a <a href=\"\/2020\/08\/debunking-6-of-the-most-popular-color-consulting-myths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">professional color consultant<\/a>, they can rest easier knowing they&#8217;re not left to make these big decisions by themselves.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;21210&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Now, it&#8217;s worth pointing out that these projects <em>do<\/em> come with their own set of unique challenges. One common example would be that you&#8217;ll need to work with a large group of stakeholders and board members (who are not always easy to deal with), rather than a single individual.\n\nThis is why communication is key at all times. Likewise, you should always have <a href=\"\/2020\/03\/how-to-write-a-strong-design-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an airtight contract<\/a>. Make sure all commitments are in writing before beginning any HOA project. It&#8217;s also a smart idea to make perfectly clear which services you do and do NOT offer.\n\nFor instance, you can state:\n<ul>\n \t<li>How many specific color schemes you will specify;<\/li>\n \t<li>The exact timeline of when schemes will be submitted;<\/li>\n \t<li>Any site visits during the project;<\/li>\n \t<li>Any adjustments to schemes once the HOA has reviewed schemes;<\/li>\n \t<li>And more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThese details will make or break any HOA project. They&#8217;ll also keep everyone on track, maintain clear expectations, and ensure a successful project!\n\nOther examples of HOA projects to consider offering are updating HOA color scheme books, and mapping HOA communities to show where specific color schemes will go. Updating color books is an excellent additional service to offer when providing new schemes, as you can remove any outdated schemes prior to introducing new, updated ones.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;21211&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_%E2%80%93_Virtual_Color_Consultation\"><\/span>6 &#8211; Virtual Color Consultation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Many color consultants prefer to have in-person face time with their clients.

If you enjoy having more flexibility, and have prior onsite color consultation experience, you should definitely consider adding virtual color consulting to your list of business services!\n\nConsulting with clients virtually offers them more flexibility in scheduling. E-design services can also save lots of time if they&#8217;re on a deadline, live elsewhere, or simply prefer this mode of working together during the pandemic.\n\nYes, it&#8217;s true that not every client will want to work virtually. Many still prefer to work together in-person, because they&#8217;ll feel more comfortable having you in their home or business. But even if a client <em>doesn&#8217;t <\/em>want to take advantage of your virtual color consultant services, you should still at least offer them!
