What it comes down to is marketing. A line of WSD bikes (or any new product) is a big investment for a company, market research and surveys of the target market probably led to the color choices. They're not going to invest a lot of money without doing at least some of this research. It's just not feasible to make bikes in every color somebody could possibly want, so they'll go with the color their studies show would be the most popular. My suggestion is to find a good frame painter and customize to your hearts content.

Yep, decorate to your hearts content. Don't pick based on color, although it can be hard to ignore a bike in your favorite or or pick your least favorite color. Find the bike that rides and fits you best. Don't let marketing dictate the way it looks, have fun making it yours. .
Even valve caps come in custom colors so whether it's too pink or not pink enough or.....
