Basic usability fail

I was in my local dry cleaners this morning.  I took a little professional interest in the software system they use to run the place.  It's a Windows desktop system, running Winforms.

The screen for receiving a new item of clothing has a section where the user selects the colour of the item by clicking a button.  It looked just like this:

Who on earth designed that?  How did they not think it would be a nice idea to use a little colour?
