Why do artificial plant-growth lights have a light spectrum that favors the blue and red portions of the spectrum?

Chlorophyll, the main photosynthetic pigment of plants, absorbs mainly blue and red wavelengths from the Sun and reflects green ones, and it is this reflected light that gives plants their leafy color. Light can be split into red, green, and blue. Plants are green because they reflect the green portion of the spectrum, but consume the blue and red portions. Perhaps photosynthesis uses blue and red portions of spectrum, making a light spectrum that favors red and blue portions of the spectrum the best for plant growth.
