Plants are green because of the presence of a green pigment called chrolophyll. This pigment is responsible for sunlight hervesting. When you make a plant extract this pigment get solubilized into extract by the phospholipids (a major component of cell wall) leading to green color.

Actually, most plant extracts are not green, and you can see the colors at herbalextractsupplier.com.

If yellow xanthophylls were present in the extract why did the extract appear green?

The green color in plant extracts is predominantly due to chlorophyll, which absorbs red and blue light, giving off green light. Xanthophylls, which are also present, absorb blue and green light, but they appear yellow since they reflect yellow wavelengths. As a result, the green color from chlorophyll overwhelms the yellow color from xanthophylls, making the overall extract appear green.
