Why it is so? Who knows? Or they prepared the pic in Photoshop?
And it has a thin film with all these color words...
There may be several reasons.

One thing you are right about is that the photo has been processed. Look at the frame; there are only four or five whites in there, you can actually see the lines where they border.

This may mean that somebody turned this picture into an indexed file before saving as JPEG (which is silly, but definitely happens when you ask marketing to deliver you a photo), or the photo has undergone a operation in which the colours are stretched. This is often use to make underexposed photos look less dull and more lively.

However, the screen may actually be this white. There exist LCDs with white instead of green background, AFAIK.
