The lights on the front of the wings are of different colors ( left wing has red light and right wing green light). But the lights on the rear of the wings are of the same color ( yellow on both the wings ). This pattern can be observed across all the planes. why do we have lights of different color at the front and lights of the same color at the back? what purpose does it serve ?

it is for approaching aircraft to differentiate which side of the plane they need to pass.

Same as boats - is the craft crossing, approaching, or departing and which is right and which is left side.
Required by regulations.

You can tell if the plane is moving toward you or away
