Overall brightly colored flower petals assist in attracting insects, birds and small mammals to the flower for pollination. Coloured petals and nectar are normally used in conjunction - the petals as the attractant and the nectar as the "reward".

Some petals which are not brightly coloured to humans, but reflect light in the Ultraviolet spectrum which some insects and birds can see.

What is the significance of pollen odor and brightly colored petals of flowering plants?

I'm not sure it is actually the petals themselves that release perfume. I think it's another part of the flower. The purpose of the perfume is to attract a pollinator - insect, bat, bird or whatever. The reward for the pollinator is a meal of nector which is produced by the flower. As the pollinator rummages around in the flower for nectar, pollen will rub off on the animal and be transfered to the stigma to pollinate the flower.
