The OLPC/Sugar color design is described here,
wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Sugar_Interface/Colors.

Generally, gray-scale is used for non-personal elements, color for personal
products such as Journal Activity instances.

Extending this a bit, one might enliven the sugarlabs logo at the final
frame, just before the Learner's Home view appears, connecting it more
closely to the Sugar Learner environment than the earlier boot, which is
more the responsibility of GNU/Linux and the distribution packaging.
