Piggybacking on Coronita comments, use the words ‘ arbitrary, selective enforcement ‘ in your letter.
” While other homes currently are painted similarly, your decision appears to be arbitrary. By denying my color scheme it appears the ARC committee is selective in its enforcement of it’s policies.”
Take a look at your HOA budget, you know the thing that gets mailed every year and gets tossed the same day. Look for their legal budget line item. Usually, the budget number is vastly under estimated for any kind of legal involvement.
So as C mentioned, your legal threat carries a lot of weight.
Another tactic is to paint your colors and stall them off when they try to enforce. 1. getting bids 2. new painter quit 3. painted new wrong color 4. covid quarantine.
Get the idea!! Of course, this tactic you will have to comply to their colors however.
