But if someone has a small blue globe in a rock garden - I am NOT going to be offended. I myself, would think that even a large globe or 2 in a front yard would look good to me. And I would not ever waste my brainpower to determine one person's trim color to be BAD and another person's to be GOOD. To me, those are details that are too small for me to complain about. So, I would suggest some degree of flexibility in the RULES.
The idea of self-appointed Trolls driving around (with clipboards) and trying to impose 100% conformity to a Village - is very foreign and extreme to my way of thinking. That is like the old song about house developments......." and they are ALL made out of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same"!
Pro tip: If it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it...
