People cannot photosynthesis... in Autumn when tree leaves turn different colors so that is photosynthesis (In Autumn, the chlorophyll pigments break down and reveal the presence of accessory pigments)

chlorophyll
What do the pigments in leaves do for photosynthesis?
The pigments do nothing, leaf color is just the part of the light spectrum that isn't absorbed, but reflected.
Do plants have adaptations that maximise light absorbsion?
One of the main adaptions is the range of pigments that absorb the light in plants. From the standard P680 and P700 pigments ( named for the absorption spectrum, in nanometers, they pick up in ) in the two photosystems to many different pigments in the array of pigments surrounding the reaction center. These pigments absorb light outside the red and blue range and they become visible when the leaves of plants turn colors in the fall.
