The design guidelines are laid out here. http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design.html
I think it helps maintain consistency among the different apps and devices by different manufacturers. My Samsung Galaxy S’s highlight is a blue color so a blue icon would not look good.
