Only the chlorophyll pigments are prominently visible in a healthy green leaf because they absorb red and blue light for photosynthesis, reflecting green light that we perceive. Other pigments, such as carotenoids and anthocyanins, are present in smaller amounts and are masked by the dominant chlorophyll pigments in green leaves. These pigments may become more visible during certain conditions like leaf senescence or stress.
