So it doesn't blend with the grass or look like a kick ball.

Because of TV. When soccer was first aired on TV, all TV's were black and white. The ball would appear grey and get lost on the screen. The pattern was added so the viewer could see it better on the screen.
This is all true, and can be researched.

Obviously the ball looks cooler when it's multi-colored. Probably also easier for the eye to follow while it's flying through the air.

A small white patch on the chest is permissible in all three varieties. White on the toes is discouraged. There's a lot of purebred labs out there with white on them.

really simple if a white ball is coming at you and its spinning would you be able to tell? the colors are for the players to recognize spin, spin has a major impact on how the ball is played and what kinda of bounce it is going to have

It's easier for players to detect spin or swerve on a spotted ball.

its easier for the eye to see when it is in the air,and so you can see which way the ball is spinning so you can put your own spin on it.

to make it easier to see if its spinning.
a spinning ball can curve or bounce differently, and a good player can anticipate the curve by watching the spin.
