A pigment is a material that changes the color of reflected or transmitted light as the result of wavelength-selective absorption. Green Pigments in plants, mainly Chlorophyll is an extremely important biomolecule, critical in Photosynthesis, which allows plants to obtain energy from light. It absorbs mostly blue light and then red light from the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum and reflects Green Light.
So, all the plants are green in color and it got a name Green pigment.

ProfessorGreen pigments are commonly used in art, food, cosmetics, and textiles to create various shades of green. They are also used in nature to carry out photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Additionally, green pigments are used in colorimetry to calibrate instruments and accurately measure color.

If orange and yellow pigments are present in a leaf why does the leaf appear green in color?
Because there are much more chlorophyll which make them green than green and orange pigments.
Which wavelength of light is absorbed the least by pigments in the spinach extract?
Green light (around 540 to 570 nm) is absorbed the least by pigments in spinach extract. This is why spinach appears green to our eyes, as the green light is reflected rather than being absorbed.
Do all plants have green pigments?
No, not all plants have green pigments. While chlorophyll is the most common pigment that gives plants their green color, some plants may have other pigments like red, yellow, or purple. These pigments can help the plants absorb different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis.
Does the mitochondria have a green pigment this is a yes or no question?
NO. Green pigments are in chloroplasts.That is for photosynthesis
Which substance is a green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs energy for photo system?
Chlorophyll
