This answer is very scientific.

You see, the only reason you see something is because light reflects off of it and into your eyes. Light in itself is what is call electromagnetic radiation.

Light has what is called wavelength. this means that different wavelengths of light will have different properties. Simple right?

Now, when light is in its basic form, it is all the wavelengths (colors) mixed together. However, when it hits some, a leaf for instance, some of those wavelengths (colors) are absorbed and some are reflected.

When the light hits the leaf all the wavelengths (colors) but green are absorbed. The green light is reflected back into your eye, causing the leaf to appear green.

--**Basicly**--

all things absorb some colors and reflect some colors. leaves absorb everything but green light, and that green light is reflected back into your eye.

Things that are white reflect all of the colors, while things that are black absorb all the colors.
