Let's say historical reasons :).
The colours for the C filetype were the very first ones as it was the
very first supported filetype. And IIRC they are based on the colours
of an old Anjuta which I were using while writing Geany before it was
usable itself.
Later other filetypes were added with others colours.

Whatever looks good. Probably the colours from the Python filetype are
better for new filetypes but IMO it's not that big issue at all since
every user can change them.

No. But it is on the TODO list.
