I think the pastel colors fit it perfectly to really drive home the surreal and dreamlike idea they were going with. Fairies are often associated with such bright unnatural colors and it also fits in with other fae like Shiinotic (plus it causes it to glow in the dark with those mushrooms in the fairy forest in Galar; where other members of it's line live). Seeing that thing glowing like a beacon in the dark of the woods like a neon "get the fuck out" sign would be scary but also better serve it's desires of wanting to be left alone: if you're very easy to spot then people will give you a wide berth.
Even if you don't like pastels (which is fine, there's valid reasons to dislike them) I think the shiny is also pretty good. Making it have an aggressively dark and violent-looking color scheme just kind of kills the point of it being a bait and switch, not to mention doesn't really work with the design.
