With the homes so close, I think the neighborhoods will start to look like a circus town with all different colors. The reason we moved here is because we like the simplicity and class of the neighborhoods and how pleasing to the eye all of the homes are. I know each to their own but this is not the type of area to express your personal taste in such a bold way. Is anyone else thinking about this?

I think you have good reason to worry that the trend might spread. Can you imagine living directly across the street from a bright red garage door? I would call community standards and complain about it.
Note: I live in a patio villa and the rule, I believe, is that house colors must stay the same as when they were built. When I had my roof reshingled, they wouldn't even allow a slightly different shade of color. I was told it must be exactly the same color. Well, I didn't mind, I was just worried that the roofer might show up with the wrong color and make the house look bad.
