Ditto. My blue is blue on the inside. I took off the battery door and saw the same parallel swipes of unpainted area that was shown in the photos above from Anemic Oak. I would bet that it is either a factory policy or customs requirement to leave some original surface unpainted in a relatively inconspicuous place for testing or inspection.
I would also bet -- though we will probably never know for sure -- that the factory was trying to meet deadline, didn't have enough of some of the plastic resin with color molded in, and cut a corner by painting neutral-colored plastic. I doubt it was a conscious decision meant to save pennies by buying less expensive raw materials. (For one thing, I doubt that the cost of the colored plastic is that much higher than black/white.)
