GM4Him definitely meant to post in another thread, but the second one... yeah, I'm as confused as you are
If I had to guess it probably refers to brighter colors being associated with Larian's particular "whimsical", how its often called here, style of games that was prevalent in DOS1...
Although I'm always surprised when people have a problem with it. I've played Larian games since Divine Divinity and I've also played BG1 and they always seemed the same to me in terms of darkness/humor ratio, not to mention the color scheme in the nature/city locations. *shrug*
