I definitely think that paint color clauses in HP ordinances spread more
ill-will than any other preservation issue. ("You people aren't going to tell
me what color to paint MY house!") Having said that... microscpic analysis is
the way to go, if one is going to try and enforce a paint clause in an
ordinance: one has to be able to scientifically and historically substantiate
the authenticity of the required paint scheme. I've heard of many legal
problems with paint clauses in HP ordinances.
