Why flowers are colourful?

Flowers aren't colored, they have PETALS that are colored. The flowers spend most of their energy making colorful petals mostly to attract pollinators (bees, butterflies, etc...), but after they are pollinated, they lose their petals because they should spend their energy of developing a seed rather than making petals, and also because they don't want pollinators to be attracted to them now that they are pollinated and make them pollinate other flowers instead.

What are flowers and how do they work?

Flowers are reproductive organs - they contain stamens (male parts of the flower, loaded with pollen) and stigmas (female parts of the flower, receptive to pollen from another plant of the same species). Plants cannot move, and so they rely on other creatures - normally insects - to move their pollen for them. The insects must be attracted to the flowers so that they will pollinate them. Most of the time, the flowers produce nectar to attract the insects. The bright petals are an advertisement, telling the insects that there is nectar or edible pollen available. Yellow flowers tend to attract insects, while red catches the eyes of most birds. The petals are coloured so brightly because of pigments that are relatively easy for the plant to produce. These pigments can be all colours and combinations of them make the flowers colourful.
