Makes sense to me.  People would remember compliments or complaints from
their target audience.  The only feedback they would hear or pay attention
to would be those.  They may not even realize that different targets could
have different color preferences.  They may be merely going with what
"everybody" seems to tell them about colors.  If they never hear the
non-target audience feedback, they may not really be making choices at all.
