Because that's just what they are colored--Mars has a rusted metal dust covering its surface, giving it a redish tint, while Earth has blue waters covering 80% of its surface.

There is a type of soil on mars (I think it is iron based) much like red clay which give the red planet its distintive appearance in the sky.
The dominant Feature on the Earth is water. This natural color is also shows itself off if you are orbiting earth. The planet appears (at times) to be surrounded by a blue "blanket"
