The colors made sense back in the day. They weren't picked at random, but out of some research done by some third party on ideal such colors.
Just turned out to be unfortunate. This got people very creative, and lots of color schemes were used.
See funky screenshot for instance.
>In fact one reason color was not used on the early Macs was that they couldn't figure out a color scheme that didn't look like Bozo the Clown.
Early macs were monochrome, in the one bit sense.
They were basically a 68k cpu with minimal peripheral circuitry and large price tag. CPU did all the drawing.
Today's macs are a little faster, but they are still massively overpriced.
