The desktop background color of #FF00FF probably hints at a mental illness. I'm not even too unserious there; how can a mentally sane person bear that for longer than five seconds, even if she's a teenage girl who really loves that color?
I don't think it applies to the guy mentioned by the OP, but I have worked with users who had 'bizarre' colours (including THAT pink) for their desktop, window background, menu bar, etc.; because they had severe colour blindness problems. So they chose those colours to give them sufficient contrast, given their visual 'disabilities.' I wouldn't want to be an a car driven by them, though; I'd be too scared of them screwing up which colours are which in traffic lights (and yes, I know that worldwide, red is at the top and green is at the bottom!).
