Precisely why I live in a neighborhood with a non-mandatory Home Owners Improvement Association. I recently painted my house a pale pink with a darker pink trim. It obviously would not fly in that neighborhood. (Had I found those particular shades of teal when I was paint chip shopping, I may have gone the teal path.) One house in our neighborhood is painted in shades of red and yellow. Everyone told the woman who painted it that she was crazy. But when she was done, it was surprisingly attractive.
The Dubrovas should move to Florida. Teal, apricot, yellow, and pink are considered standard colors, especially in coastal areas. I cannot imagine a more boring neighborhood whose "approved" colors are shades of white, beige, grey and blue.
