I wouldn't pick on the example, but you've made me curious: how does it improve the speed of development to have array("a" => "green", "red", "blue") ?

This is just a side-effect of the fact that arrays in PHP are also hash-maps. That improves the speed of development, not your example.

And you think it's a good idea to have arrays be also hash maps?

As long as you're aware of it.
