The range of light absorption in leaves is extended by some accessory pigments. But it does not cover the entire visible range.
These pigments absorb specific wavelengths of visible light while scattering the remaining light.
Different pigments respond to different wavelengths of visible light.
The chlorophyll molecules slowly dies as the temperature slowly lowers. Which causes other colours of the accessory and other pigments to become visible.
The longest visible wavelengths are red,

chlorophyll and other pigments absorb energy from certain wavelengths of visible light.
Because it's comprised of the band of wavelengths that the human eye can detect, that is, wavelengths that are 'visible' to human beings.
The color white reflects all wavelengths of the visible spectrum. That is why it is the brightest color.
Light energy with wavelengths longer than visible red is infrared light.
If the lights from all visible wavelengths are combined, they appear to be a white color.
The wavelengths of visible light are longer than ultraviolet wavelengths.
