IIUC, it's because the colorschemes are listed in the order encountered,
i.e., the order of the trees in 'runtimepath'. (The same applies to the
keymap menu.) This means that on an installation like mine, with only a
few owncoded colorschemes and keymaps, they will occupy a prominent
location at the top of the list, with the default ones (distributed with
Vim) afterwards. I like that.
Alternately, ":colors <Tab>" (with 'wildmenu' on) lists them on the
statusbar as a keyboard-driven menu. My owncoded colorscheme comes
first, which again is nice.
