Since this is in Plant Biology, I'll assume we're talking about chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a green pigment, which means that it reflects green light. It "traps" (absorbs) other frequencies, such as red and blue.

If you were to confine a green plant in green light, it would perish, but if you kept it in red light, it would hang on (though full spectrum (white) light is still better).
