                                 POWER OF ATTORNEY

   Know all by these presents that the undersigned hereby constitutes and
appoints each of Darren J. Tangen, Ronald M. Sanders and Jenny B. Neslin,
signing singly, and with full power of substitution, the undersigned's true and
lawful attorney-in-fact to:

undersigned's behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any other documents
necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling the undersigned
to make electronic filings with the SEC of reports required by Section 16(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation of the SEC;

   (2) execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
capacity as an officer and/or director of Colony Capital, Inc. (the "Company"),
Forms 3, 4, and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder, and any other forms or reports the
undersigned may be required to file in connection with the undersigned's
ownership, acquisition, or disposition of securities of the Company;

   (3) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4,
or 5, or other form or report, and timely file such form with the SEC and any

   (4) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to,
and in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned.

   The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such
attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this power of attorney and the rights and powers herein
granted. The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in
serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming,
nor is the Company assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply
with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

   This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

   IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of this 9th day of August, 2018.
