It was an ingenious solution to fake color that didn't exist on a limited palette. If you ever wondered what was the trick for some gifs to have so good colors, they likely used a custom palette, for example in this case it would discard greens and use those places to have more options for browns.
One of the most fascinating After Effects tutorials I’ve ever followed (and of course the technology it’s mimicking) was how to recreate a CRT effect by dissecting three color channels from one another and placing them together close enough to fake the entire palette. It’s just fascinating how much our eyes can extrapolate from illusions.
