The window colors, bright or pastel just don't look right. 

Having different window colors may not be a problem per se, but it is
difficult to chose the colors in way so it does not look like an
accident. 

It might look better if there were fewer different colors and we play
more with saturation and brightness to distinguish the windows. But I
am not a designer.

The pastel colors look like an half hearted attempt to solve the
problem of the bright colors.
