Well thylakoids organize chloraphyll and other pigments within the membrane of the thylakoid. Chloraphyll is a green pigment so that affects the pigment of the thylakoid.

I hope that helps .

Chloroplasts contain the green pigment chlorophyll which makes them appear green. The pigment chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light, which causes it to appear green.
