Ugly looking soviet electric reproducer from 1954

I found an offer online with this reproducer, I know this was soviet union so it does not look top quality but why green? As I am unable to save the photos I add a link: https://www.olx.pl/oferta/zabytkowa-nak ... 7ab2e60ccf

In communist countries LPs had been released much later (a very popular format in the mid 60's were the "sound postards") up to this point 78's were made and so were the machines. I own a polish "Mewa" electric reproducer witch is quite good in terms of sound and is made out of brown bakelite wich for me looks better
