My HOA in Texas has recently FLIPPED OUT because we painted our house black. Originally, all of the houses built in the early 2000s were similar pastel colors. Light grey, yellow, blue, etc.. very boring. The CCRs state that to repaint your house you have to submit the color to the architectural control committee (ACC) and that the colors must be 'harmonious' with the neighborhood or some BS like that. Nothing specifically prohibits any specific color. We followed the rules to the letter and got written approval.
Now the HOA president, Karen, is trying to make us repaint and force the members of the ACC to retract the approval or resign. I say they can kick rocks. What I don't get is WHY DOES SHE CARE?? It doesn't impact her in any way, and the neighborhood, although outside of this particular HOA, already has tons of black houses. Do they seriously think that forcing every house to look the same will somehow boost property values? I think the opposite. (It's also worth noting that every house in the HOA has tripled in value over the last 10 years, so home value is not even an argument by any stretch).
