He should have checked with them to make sure it was okay to paint, but he assumed since it wasn't a crazy color and there were several other homes in the area that had a similar color it would be fine. Of course, assuming bit him in the ass.

He did get a bit of petty revenge. To have the color approved he had submit an application along with color swatches. He purposely submitted about 30 different applications that he knew they would deny just to annoy them.
