Reminds me of the guy who ran up against the "Nazi Homeowners" association that told him to re-paint his house from the list of "approved" colors when he painted his house a "un-approved " color. He did exactly as you said. He chose the most garish combination of "approved' colors and they couldn't say a thing !...........

There's always a way. Another strategy could be to choose two "approved" colors and paint the building with diagonal stripes or polka-dots of those "approved" colors. Either would make the point clearly.

Of course, it would cost some money and you'd probably want to repaint again soon, but the point would be made.

Now there's a creative (and feisty) solution!

Reminds me of the guy who did that because his word was no good on a signed covenant.

His community sued him and he was financially ruined.

Trick is, if you don't want to go along with the rules you've agreed to yourself, best thing to do is move somewhere else.

Sounds like a real ass.

It's too late today but I will post such a picture tomorrow. It's an obvious protest showing exactly what you're saying. See you tomorrow.

Here's an obvious protest to color restrictions in Cooperstown, NY.
