"So many" is a relative term. Imagine a universe in which there are 2 or 10 times the colours we know. It's virtually impossible to make quantative or qualitative statements about life because we have nothing to compare it to. Life is...life. Things are because...they are. Enjoy!

Color is just how light appears at different wavelengths. For instance, white light is every wavelength at once, but once light hits our atmosphere, the relatively short wavelengthed blues (and violets and indigos and greens, just not as much) are refracted more than the other parts of the spectrum and so the sky is blue. Color is just a property of light completely dependent on that lights wavelength, and light exists in an infinite number of wavelengths, giving us our colors.

Ultimately it is for the same reason that we see them. I'm not sure that why is an appropriate question. Sure! What are they ultimately for is a great question, but to just ask why is not the way to get a reasonably logical answer.... It just leaves too many things open to be questioned.

**** sapiens evolved as fruit-eating tree apes on the plains of central africa.
an animal which lives mainly on fruit needs excellent colour vision to be able to find its food amid all those leaves.
animals which are mainly carnivorous (dogs for example) can usually see only in black-and-white (they do not need to detect colour - only motion).

because colors are all different reflections and "frequencies" of light.
