what gives a plant its green color
Chloroplasts, which are only found in plants, give plants the green color because chlorophyll, a green pigment that helps in photosynthesis, is located inside of them. Making the world better, one answer at a time.
Chlorophyll is also responsible for the green coloring on leaves and stems of a plant. Green is the best color to collect sunlight within the color spectrums (red and blue) that are most efficient for producing the energy needed to create food for the plant.
