Usually, the color of leaves is green as they contain chlorophyll and it's reflecting the color of chlorophyll but when we look at a leaf, we see the colors of light that are reflected off its surface because chlorophyll in plants gives the leaf its color. The chlorophyll can't absorb oxygen, that is why it causes a reduction in the flow of oxygen and therefore the chlorophyll is green and reflects off green light.
