Tigers and such feel like a good counter example to colors needing eyes to see them? Specifically, the color of tigers is largely evolved against eyes that don't see the orange.
As such, many colors would be expected in environments that don't confer an advantage to colors. And once an environment starts to give advantage, you would expect rapid convergence.
Which, maybe I'm just reinforcing old learning of mine? Moths were a specific way of teaching evolution in my grade school, and they acted exactly as I just described. With soot covered areas growing rise to black colorings and cleaner air giving rise to the opposite.
