Can a body corporate breach residents for having the wrong colour patio furniture?

My mother's body corporate is trying to enforce a rule that all resident's outdoor patio furniture be the same colour, even if the furniture is not visible to other residents. Any residents with white, black or grey furniture are in breach. Is this legal or fair?

I don't see how the committee could attempt to regulate furniture in those circumstances.

At first glance, I don't see how that is objectively reasonable. The question would be, why do they want/need that to be the policy? If it cannot be seen by anyone else, I don't see how the committee could attempt to regulate furniture in those circumstances.
