There are many pigments that absorb light energy. They are as follows:

  • Carotene - an orange pigment
  • Xanthophyll - a yellow pigment
  • Chlorophyll a - a blue-green pigment
  • Chlorophyll b - a yellow-green pigment
  • Phaeophytin - a gray pigment

These are all/most of the pigments in a leaf that absorb light energy.
