There are two wave lengths that are absorbed well. Red and blue colors are the best.
The blue and the red spectrum of visible light is best absorbed by chlorophyll.http://www.ndpteachers.org/perit/Absorption%20Spectrum%20%5B2%5D.jpg
Chlorophyll a primarily absorbs red and blue light wavelengths most efficiently, while reflecting green light, which is why plants appear green. This absorption spectrum allows chlorophyll a to capture the energy needed for photosynthesis.
Carotenoids absorb light most efficiently in the blue-violet and blue-green regions of the spectrum. This is why they often appear red, orange, or yellow in color, as they absorb blue light and reflect longer wavelengths.
Special structures in the plant absorb photons
blue and red light OR anything with red in it
Red

For the first questions, chlorophyll is in plants. That's what makes them green
Chlorophyll a primarily absorbs blue and red light wavelengths, while chlorophyll b absorbs blue and some green light wavelengths. Together, they work to capture sunlight energy for photosynthesis in plants.

Chlorophyll absorbs purple/blue light really well and orange/red light too. It doesnt absorb green light very well and refects most of ot, making plants appear green to us. Chlorophyll absorbs best in the 600-750 nm (nanometer) range
Chlorophylls absorb light most strongly in the red and violet portions of the spectrum. Green light is poorly absorbed so when white light (which contains the entire visible spectrum) shines on leaves, green rays are transmitted and reflected giving leaves their green color. The similarity of the action spectrum of photosynthesis and the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll tells us that chlorophylls are the most important pigments in the process.
Carotenoids absorb light most efficiently in the blue-violet and blue-green regions of the spectrum. This is why they often appear red, orange, or yellow in color, as they absorb blue light and reflect longer wavelengths.
