Found the talk page regarding that decision in case anyone is curious:

TL;DR: The change was due to accessibility concerns, as the old color scheme was often indistinguishable for color-blind viewers (and Cat 1-3 were hard to tell even for normal color vision, IMO). However, there were some controversy over the use of purple for Cat 5. They are in the process of designing and voting on a new color scheme that uses dark red instead of purple for Cat 5 - see the "Newest proposal yet" section.
