Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

We purchased a house in an HOA, but never received any copy of rules or covenants. The house as purchased was an eyesore in a peach color that did not match any other house in the neighborhood. Now we have painted the house and the president stopped by to say we were not supposed to do so without approval. I explained to her that we never recieved a copy of an HOA handbook nor any contact information for anyone within the HOA board. The house is now painted a tan color with white trim that matches all the other houses in the neighborhood, but she threatened us with fines of up to $100 a day for not getting approval. Can they truly do anything since the color matches the appearance of the neighborhood? Just wondering if we have any legal standing or what they can force us to do?

Since it matches, i see no problem. Get a copy of the HOA documents.
