Tying army rules to paint was a stupid idea in the first place anyway.

Yes this was the primary bad move by GW on the topic of painting and it creates a conflict that will never go away: yes they are your models paint them how you want, but no you should not deviate from the army rules tied to the faction of your painting choise. That is where for sm/csm successor chapters comes into play with more colour options.
