Because nobody cares about color of motherboards, and gaudy or poor choice of colors can actually make the board look unprofessionally-made.

I have a question. With a lot of the older boards, there was a single PCI slot that was a different color than the others. Was this because it had a certain feature (lower latency or whatever) or was it just aesthetics or what?
