The leaves are all green, right?

1. Is this statement correct?

Many of the leaves we see in real life are green, but many people think that all leaves are green. This statement is incorrect. There are leaves of other colors, not just green. For example, the leaves of the Japanese red maple are red, bright red, without any green mixed in. There are also leaves that are green on one side and red on the other. This situation does exist. In addition to red, there are leaves in other colors, but they are less common and have been overlooked by us.

2. Why are there so many green leaves?

Sunlight is not made up of just one color, but is made up of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple and other colors. However, leaves can absorb the other six colors, except green, which cannot be absorbed and will be reflected. Therefore, most leaves are green. Some leaves will be green on the surface and other colors on the back. Different types of plants have different colors because they absorb light.
