well this might not really be the answer, but every different textures reflect different colours, like a banana absorbs every colour except for yellow, and grass absorbs every colour except for green.... or the other way around...

∙ 13y agoLeaves are typically green due to the pigment called chlorophyll. There are other pigments in a leaf that are for different colors, but during the summer months, it is chlorophyll that is dominant, thus making leaves green. In the autumn/ fall months, chlorophyll becomes less dominant, allowing for the other pigments for colors such as red, yellow, and orange to show.
Chlorophyll is responsible for much of the leaf's energy and food. During colder months, the leaf takes in less water and minerals, leading to a decrease in the amount of chlorophyll, and consequently lessening the color of green.
