This is often misunderstood.
The colorful icons select a whole tool (including configuration like color and
width), and try to visualize the configuration.
The monochrome icons select only the type of the tool, the configuration is
done by the right part of the annotation toolbar.
(Since the configuration is still unique to each tool, it looks like both icons
do the same.)

I agree with this. They are ancient (for computers), and they used to be
displayed at a much bigger size. They didn’t have text at that time, so they
needed to visualize a lot at once.

I think your ideas are welcome. :)
