Peacocks have evolved colourful feathers to attract the females for mating, similar to how roosters have colourful feathers for hens. The females are brown because they need to stay camouflaged on the nest. Because it is energetically costly for the males to grow these feathers (especially the long feathers of the peacock), it is thought that if a male grows these feathers, he is strong and healthy.
Roosters have larger tail feathers and are usually a bit more colourful than hens.
Peacocks use their colourful display of feathers and long fan-like tail to attract the drabber female peahens for mating. The peahen incubates the eggs on the nest, so being drabber helps to avoid being noticed by predators.
