In my opinion, the colours don't look professional or polished at all. It's like something that an amateur designer comes up with.

I would have preferred the colour scheme of Flat UI: http://designmodo.github.io/Flat-UI/

But I'm not a designer. There could be a valid explanation as to why the chosen pastel colours are the absolute best for iOS 7.

I agree... three slightly different shades of grey? Since it is for the OS and Apple's own application, I would think that sticking to one shade each of their main colors (e.g. blue, red, green, purple) would be better. So many colors seems a little over the top and difficult to communicate in a style guide which could get mixed up and cause confusion for users.

I've heard across the interwebs that the color scheme for iOS 7 was something of a circus. I hadn't noticed it yet but this page just put it out there.
