I would not write this off as a bad thing actually.
I am not saying people should buy bikes based on the color scheme but the look of the bike to the owner is a very important thing imo. For instance I absolutely love the way my bike looks and every time I look at it I want to go for a ride. It is sort of a motivational thing for me.
Everyone finds their motivation in different things but this is one of the motivation factor for me.
