Answer by Chuckney
They are less colourful because they cannot be seen so well, so colours would not attract pollinators as teh colours of daybloomers do.
I'd say they are often white because white stands out best in the dark, so is best for attracting creatures. Night bloomers such as jasmine as also quote often scented for the same reason, they rely on this rather than colour to be pollinated.
