To indicate which is the front and rear, easier for the police to check you.

Black lettering on white is the most clearly visible.
However, it is illegal in the UK to have a white light (including reflectors) showing to the rear, except when reversing, - which outlaws the use of white reflective number plates. Yellow is the next best colour on which to distinguish black lettering.

The rear/ yellow ones are reflective so you can see the number in the dark. So coppers can read em.

Simply to show front and rear.
I believe you can still apply to use a pair of black numberplates, but I couldn't say where.
