Internal colour schemes are at the discretion of the lot owner.

There is no need to ask for permission – internal colour schemes are at the discretion of the lot owner.

Still, if you are doing renovations, it is a good idea to ask in advance what permissions you need. Sometimes the answer will be easy like this, but owners often undertake works only to find they have interfered with the common property and caused a bigger issue. Checking first is a lot simpler than resolving a problem after the fact.
