Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll. This is what makes plants green

Because they contain the chemical chlorophyll which has a green pigment (pigment = a substance which produces a characteristic colour as a result of the colour (of light) being reflected because of its wavelength - see EM spectrum).

Chloroplasts are green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs blue and red light from the sun and reflects green light, giving chloroplasts their green color. This process is essential for photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in plants.
