    zorro – This issue depends upon how strictly your OC applies the “appearance of a Lot” by-law. 

    In QLD (my home state) the Tribunals have generally determined that unless there is a condition in the “Appearance of a Lot” by-law that specifically calls for “strict uniformity” then minor appearance differences should not cause a problem. 

    At all times the OC must act reasonably in their decision making. There could be an argument that the OC are being unreasonable under the circumstances that you have described.

    If your colour choice is sensible and not unreasonably offensive then if I was you I would undertake the painting and see what happens i.e. just do it.
