It makes folks resent when they are cited, because the process is not "uniform and fair" ... that's what's happened in our neighborhood. I put together my list of how I thought an architectural committee should be run in the post I linked to here. @lisa-yeah - most folks want the white for the low maintenance aspect - and also for the look.

I am moving into a very strict homeowners...you'd laugh out loud at some of the things I need approval for! (like year round bird houses or feeders of any sort) LOL! Welcome to my new world! (course it doesn't seem overly enforced because the house has three violations that they were not cited for in the years living there...) Personally I like the white as well.

So we haven't had any problem in that aspect. However, I think they should allow the white railings and/or decks. I believe some of the newer materials out there weather much better than others and require less maintenance. We fortunately do not live in a neighborhood govern by a HOA.
