The visible red light has a wavelength of about 650 nm. At sunrise and sunset, red or orange colors are present because the wavelengths associated with these colors are less efficiently scattered by the atmosphere than the shorter wavelength colors (e.g., blue and purple). A large amount of blue and violet light has been removed as a result of scattering and the longwave colors, such as red and orange, are more readily seen.

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.
