I talked to an AHM senior manager about this last year. The problem is that the safety regulations regarding turn signal colors in the headlamps vary from state to state, and amber is required in many. So to avoid having to making something different for each state, Honda plays it safe and uses amber, which is legal in all 50 states. It's the same reason why the sidemarkers are amber.
