Its the other way around. Green walls only reflect green, and that's how we see them as green walls. My answer could change depending on what type of green it is.
Chlorophyll in plants does not absorb green light as they reflect this color. That is why plants are, generally, green as they reflect green light and absorb other wavelengths of light.
Plants are green because they reflect green light more than any other part of the color spectrum, therefore if a plant is only exposed to green light it will reflect.
The color of anything is either the color of the light that is reflected from it, or the light that is transmitted through it. The other colors in white light are absorbed. So, since we see leaves as green whether in reflected light or when light shines through them, green is the color which is NOT absorbed.
White light is a mixture of different colors. Different materials have different surface properties; as a result, one material may reflect a larger percentage of red light, and a smaller percentage of other colors, such as blue or green light - thus, it will appear red. Another material may reflect more green light than other colors, so it will appear more green.
Black is the only color that does absorb all wavelengths of light.White is the color that reflects all wavelengths of light.All other colors absorb only certain wavelengths of light and reflect the rest.

a green object it will reflect a green light and will absorb all other colours.
because it reflects green light and absorbs the other visible wavelengths
Green light does not promote photosynthesis because it is reflected off of a plants leaves. While most plants absorb all other wavelengths of electromagnetic rays from the sun, they reflect the wavelength for green light.
absorb.Black absorb heat faster than any other colour.Black will never reflect light.:)
Since it appears green in white light, it reflects the green part of the spectrum, absorbing all the other colors. In red light, it would not reflect any color, thus appearing black. Opaque objects absorb some of the light, and reflect the rest.

Red and blue are primary colours therefore they do not contain any other colour. When a blue light is shone onto a red object, all the blue light is absorbed by the red object, and as no red light is being shone for the red object to reflect, no light will be reflected from it and it will appear to be black. It is important to remember that physical colours will only reflect it's light colour equivalent. All other colours are absorbed. So red will reflect red, green will reflect green, and red will absorb green and so on.
Because dark colours absorbs light, and energy;and its named absortion coefficient. ============================== Some substances and objects made from them reflect more light and absorb less. Other substances and objects made from them reflect less light and absorb more. The ones that reflect more and absorb less are the ones that appear lighter to us. Why ? Because they absorb less light and reflect more of it toward our eyes.
A green object would look blaack in a red light because coloured objects absorb all colours except the colour they are, so a green object absorbs 6 colours (red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, violet) and reflects 1 (green). In this situation, there is no green light to reflect and it can't reflect other colours, so it looks black. :)
Plants are green because they reflect green light more than any other part of the color spectrum, therefore if a plant is only exposed to green light it will reflect.
That's vey simple, they absorb every other colour. It has to do with the energetic value of the light at different waves, so for green plants, green light gives them least. The reason green plants reflect green light is also simple. Photosynthetic substances like chlorophyll require different amounts of energy, and reflect/absorb different wavelengths of light. At certain temperatures, plants can only maintain carotenoids, which often reflect more reds and yellows (this is why tree leaves change color in the fall), and at more ideal temperatures, plants are able to absorb enough energy to produce chlorophyll. A plant's color is completely dependent on its photoabsorbtive pigments. This is also why plants that are locked in a closet will turn white, but still live for a while: they devote their energy to tasks besides producing photoabsorbants, since there are few photons to absorb.
