Exterior Color Scheme Help!

9 years ago
Hi there-
We purchased a house during the building process. Our realtor insisted we would have the final say in the exterior color choices. Come to find out that the builder will only give us two choices for the body color. SW Roycroft bronze green or SW Smokehouse. Not my top choices for sure. I chose the green. However... see attach photos as it's a 4 color scheme (plus rock). It has beautiful Batten and Board siding that he wants to not paint in a solid color but actually paint bright stripes. The house is a 3 level day light basement and the width is on the smaller size. Even more reason in my opinion to not have such a crazy color scheme... to me it looks like a circus. Must add that the roof is dark black.
What do you think? Do you have a Photo/example of a house looking like this? Please share?
There is restrictions on repainting the exterior via HOA. Not to mention the costs and wasted materials to repaint if HOA approves. I'm respectfully worried of the sell back value being lost if we need to relocate unexpectedly.

Any advice on how to convince the builder that this will not look good. Or do you think it will look good?
Thank you
