It's a good thing your opinion doesn't have any influence in this game's development. A limit of 64 colors is a network optimization. There could be up to 256,000 bricks on a server and telling the client that each of those bricks is a color between 0-63 uses a lot less bandwidth than telling the client each brick is "240 32 48 255" (that's a difference of 0-63 compared to 0-4294967295 or thereabouts, for 256,000 bricks - don't quote me on the math but it's a lot). |

I think 64 was just seen as a decent number of colors - things start to get a bit crazy when you have 128, particularly the UI. |

The only complaint I have with the color limit is that it isn't a factor of 9, so people who like to use the max number of colors have uneven rows. Uneven rows make me mad :( |
