Weird architectural committee guidelines

the architectural committee recently changed the windows replacement guidelines and they make no sense.
the old windows in the building are aluminium windows, but some homeowners have replace theirs for white vinyl windows. Most replacements were done in the past 4-5 years
Two months ago the architectural committee changed the guidelines to black vinyl windows.

I have couple questions about that:
1- Can the committee make such decision that doesn't respect the CCRs ("...construction will not detract the beauty, wholesomeness and attractiveness...")?
2- Should it informs all homeowners about these changes? I was made aware of them, only because I'm trying to replace my windows
3- Should that decision be made during a meeting with all homeowners?
4- How can I dispute that decision? I requested a hearing, but the board keep rejecting my request.

Thanks for your answer
Here is what the CCR says about the architectural committee (sorry it's a bit long):

The HOA is small, the same four persons are in the board and the architectural committee (only two live in the building)

There has not been any meeting since the annual meeting last November...

There is nothing in the governing documents about request for hearing or internal dispute resolution.

I'm still waiting for the board to grant me a hearing to ask these questions (and many more)

I talked to the management company who doesn't understand neither this change. Especially when some windows have been replaced in the building and they are all white. according to the MG, the white ones already installed don't have to be changed.

I don't mind black windows but because some windows have been changed in the building it will look odd and ugly to have black windows next to white ones.
