Man ordered to repaint house after officials ruled that the colour scheme wasn't Swedish enough

An man from southern Sweden has been ordered to repaint his home after local officials ruled the new color scheme for his home in Skänninge wasn't Swedish enough.
Bernth Uhno recently bought and repainted a house that had been empty since 1981.
He swapped the old, flaking yellow paintwork that the house had been covered in for decades, for a more vibrant shade of orange at the top of the building, which turns gradually lighter and more yellow towards the bottom.
However his taste proved too radical for local Councillors who argued his color scheme was too outlandish and ordered him to repaint it in a more suitable shade. "The color scheme is not Swedish," Anders Steen, a Center Party politician who is chair of the town's building committee said, adding that in Sweden people tended to stick to one color for their homes.
