Green, Orange, and Red Pigments.
Chlorophyll absorbs violet-blue and orange-red light spectrum and converts this light energy to chemical energy (photosynthesis). It reflects green and yellow light, causing it to appear to be green. Carotenoids are a group of red, orange, and yellow pigments that work with chlorophyll in the photosynthesis process. Riboflavin, (Vitamin B12), is one of several pale yellow to green pigments that are produced by several plant groups. Flavonoids, found in leaves, block ultraviolet light and admit light that is important to photosynthesis. Flavonoids are important in flower color, providing red and blue pigments. Bright fall colors are produced by the conversion of colorless flavonoids, called flavonols, into colored forms, called anthocyanins. Quinones provide many yellow, red, and orange pigments. Also, xanthophyll and tannin can be found in most trees.
yes the chloroplast is the stuff that turns the leaf green. in the fall the leaves are orange yellow and red, that is the leafs natural color.
The three types of pigments found in a plant are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids (mainly carotene). Chlorophyll a (the main pigment) absorbs blue-green light, chlorophyll b absorbs yellow-green light, and carotene absorbs yellow-orange light.
Red cabbage juice contains the pigment cyanidin, which makes it useful as a homemade indicator of acids and bases as it turns the cabbage juice pink when an acid is added and blue when mixed with an alkali (or colorless in a strong alkali solution).

Carotenoids are the scientific name for the yellow and orange pigments found in various fruits and vegetables.
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.
xanthophylls
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).
There are three pigments that are found in a geranium leaf. The three pigments are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids.
Carotenoids can be found in green leaves which are hydrocarbons that are multiple shades of yellow and orange. Some carotenoids function as photoprotection, they absorb and dissipate excessive light energy that would otherwise harm the chlorophyll.
These other pigments are called accessory pigments (red, orange, yellow, brown).
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.
Green, Orange, and Red Pigments.
There are many pigments.Colored pigments are mainly Carotene and Xanthophyll.
