Why does my computer freeze with a bunch of colourful colours when I'm playing MapleStory? Then I have to turn it off with the plug on the computer in the back. Is it bad to unplug and then plugging it back in ?

yes...try manually shutting it down first...
at the very least, you should be able to shut down your machine by holding the reset button for a few seconds...

It really doesn't matter how you turn it off.

The best is to just hit the reset button. Second best is to hold the power button until it turns off. Unplugging it doesn't break anything, its just excessive.'

Onto your computer problem.

When does it tun into fun colorful colors?
When you first start it? When you start playing? When?

That would help determine if its heat, driver, or just help narrow down the cause a little more.
