customer can able to select the multiple color .After select the product color I need to show multiple color value  in cart and checkout and order page.
how to pass the color value from product detail to other page?.

A: I think you should use the Custom Options feature for this instead of using an attribute.
Here is a nice screencast about custom options.
You just have to create a custom option with type checkbox and use as values you colors. The downside of this is that if you want the options for more products, you will have to manually add the option for all. Or you can search for an extension that allows one custom option for multiple products.
After adding the options, you don't have to do anything. They will be added as options to the cart.
