SE was released same year as very colorful Lemmings, which were not cold at all, so I don't take this excuse.

Yeah, and? Wing Commander was released in 1990 and not everyone could run that either. Back then there was no equivalent of Steam Survey to tell you what everyone had on their PC, and hence people targeted the lowest common denominator in order to ensure sales.
Lemmings was 320x240 resolution like most VGA games at the time allowing 256 colors, scorched earth was one of the first high res games doing 640x480 which only allowed 16 colors if memory serves.
Where does your focus on "cold" come from? These games used a specific color palette with just as many warm and cold colors.
