In most plants, the predominant type of chlorophyll reflects green light - this is why most plants appear to be green to our eyes. However, there are other types of chlorophyll that reflect red, orange and yellow light - you see these in leaves that are shed in the fall from deciduous trees in temperate forests.

Chlorophyll mainly reflects green light, which is why most plants appear green to our eyes. This is because chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light for photosynthesis, and reflects green light.
