Because frogs are cold blooded, they use the darker skin to take take advantage of solar radiation for energy. The darker a color is it will absorb more heat

Most, if not all, reptiles' backs are darker than their stomach to match their surroundings (camouflage) also.

And the lighter underside helps make them less visible from below in the water, the light color blending with the light of the sky and the water's surface. The same reason that fighter jets paint their bottoms and sides lighter colors then the top surfaces.

COUNTERSHADING is protective camoflauge, that is why it is white on underside so animals smimming below can't see it as well when blending into sunshine. And the darker color on dorsal side so that animals swimming above it can't see it as well when it blends into darker bottom of pond-lake

Its belly is a light color so it can camouflage in the water whereas the rest of its body is a dark color which helps it camouflage in rocks when it's on land.
