True, but the article stated she started off with bright pink. Still not a crime, though.

  No one said it was a crime.

    If the parent commenter is British then the use of “it’s not a crime” is an idiom and usually not to be taken literally. Basically a short hand for “not a big deal, shouldn’t have a ramifications for them”.

      How am I supposed to know the parent commenter's nationality? The parent comment also opined on a scenario in which the person's actions (paint, then ask permission) landed them an official letter and threat of fine, which seems like "a big deal" to some people.

        You’re not supposed to know that - I’m just guessing by the use of that phrase tbh. I was just trying to be helpful and explain a cultural difference that might explain the use of a word that hadn’t been used before.
