It would appear orange because most the orange light is reflected and we see the plant as the reflected color which would be orange.
Carotene. Deposited in the subcutaneous tissue and stratum corneum, carotene is an orange-yellow pigment found in carrots and other orange, deep yellow, or leafy-green vegetables. The skin takes on a yellow-orange cast if a person eats large amounts of carotene-rich foods.
You may be thinking of Xanthophylls. Xanthophylls are the typical yellow pigments of leaves. There is also an orange pigment, a blue-green pigment, a yellow-green pigment, a gray-brown pigment and a yellow-brown pigment. Those pigments have different names, such as Carotene (orange), Chlorophyll a (blue-green), Chlorophyll b (yellow-green), Phaeophytin a (gray-brown), and Phaeophytin b (yellow-brown).
Carotene gives yellow color to the leaves.
Carotene - an orange pigmentXanthophyll - a yellow pigmentPhaeophytin a[1] - a gray-brown pigmentPhaeophytin b[1] - a yellow-brown pigmentThese are some of the other pigments found in plants other than green pigments.
Beta-Carotene which makes the carrots look orange too.

The pigment is known as carotene, which is an orange photosynthetic pigment, which just means it is a pigment found in chloroplasts responsible for catching light energy used in photosynthesis.
B-carotene is a red-orange organic pigment found mostly in plants. This pigment is found in some fruits and vegetables like carrots and some other orange produce.
carotene which creates an orange color, yellow/green
Carotene or Cartenoids
Carotene (beta carotene) is a nutrient hydrocarbon found in yellow and orange vegetables. If consumed in excess, the pigment can color the skin. The body greaks beta carotene down to form retinal, a form of Vitamin A.
Foods with orange colouring contain carotene, whilst those with yellow get their colouring from the pigment xanthophyll.

Carotene is an orange or red plant pigment found in carrots and many other plant structures. It is a terpenoid hydrocarbon. You are thinking of melanin which reacts with sun to darken our skin, not carotene.
