Because it's a common technique in cartoons to show certain things in a way that their ridiculousness is obvious to the audience, but the in-universe characters somehow don't see anything strange about it. Examples: Twilight and Fluttershy not recognising Philoemena when she dressed as a man reading newspaper, robotic Mr Krab in SpongeBob who obviosslu looked different than real one, but SpongeBob couldn't distinguish them, and also this - audience knows the color is strange (because it should match cutie mark's color for most ponies, there are exceptions though, e.g. Flim/Flam with red slice), but mane 6 just don't see that.
