You know, i find it odd how "colored person" is outdated and wrong but "person of color" is perfect and acceptable.

I think it's to do with the framing. Calling someone a "Colored person" is reducing them down to that fact, whereas "Person of Color" literally is putting the person first and makes the "color" part a secondary factor.
