Different plants absorb different colors. Even different parts of plants absorb different colors. The color you see the plant as is the color being reflected rather than absorbed by the plant.

What color would plants be if they absorb all wavelengths of visible light?
why does plants color change to black when absorbed all wavelengths
What color does not absorb all wavelength of light?
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.
Why only using green light would the plants look droopy?
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.
Why plants look like green?
The color that something appears is related to the wavelengths of light that it absorbs. White light contains many different wavelengths. Different objects absorb different wavelengths contained in light. The color than an object appears to our eyes is actually determined by the wavelength of light in the visible spectrum that the object does not absorb. Instead the object reflects this light back at us.
Why are plants under the sea a different color than land plants?
The water refracts the light so aquatic plants receive different wavelengths of light than their terrestrial counterparts. Accordingly, the plants have different pigments to trap the different wavelengths which accounts for the difference in color.

What color of light do plants primarily reflect?
Most terrestrial plants reflect the color green. The photosyntehtic parts of plants tend to absorb the color red.

What color are objects that absorb all colors that reflects little light?
Black objects absorb all or most of the visible wavelengths of light, whereas white objects reflect all wavelengths. When all visible wavelengths (violet to red) enter the eye in equal proportions, the color is perceived as white. When no wavelengths reach the eye, the color is perceived as black. Every other color is a mixture of this continuum of wavelengths.

What color light does the chlorophyll in plants absorb best?
chlorophyll reflects green in color because it absorbs red color than any other at higher wavelengths. as green is the complimentary color of red it appears green in color

Why is the color black so dark?
Black objects absorb all wavelengths of visible light and are therefore dark.
Why do you see objects as different colors when light shines on them?
Because certain objects can absorb specific wavelengths of light(color) and they reflect the waves that they cannot absorb. the reflected wave of light is the visible color of the object.

What color of spectrum that absorb by the plants?
red and violet spectrum
