The reason for the loss of color after the industrial revolution is that the light-colored moths were "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against the newly dark, sooted background. Over time, these predators could no longer distinguish the dark ones from their natural dark, sooted background. Thus more light-colored moths stood out against the dark soot, and were eaten. And more dark-colored moths eluded the birds, survived to reproduce, passing on more of their dominant genes for dark color to their offspring. After several decades of hundreds of thousands of generations, most of the later generations were dark, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.

The answer is Mullerian mimicry.

Mullerian mimicry is a kind of mimicry in which two or more poisonous animals generate identical presences as a shared protective tool. The theory behind this is that if a predator learns to avoid one of the poisonous species, it will also avoid the mimic species as well.

It is a natural process in which two or more often repugnant species, which may or may not be closely associated and share one or more common predators, have started to mimic each other's cautionary signals, for their communal benefit, as predators eventually learn to avoid all of them.
