  Actually, leaves look green because they don’t absorb green light (that’s why grow bulbs are red & blue)

    Sorry, I gave an incomplete answer. It is my understanding that chloroplasts use the blue and red (high and low frequencies of visible light) and the remaining spectrum looks green because of the aforementioned bias with less “noise” to obfuscate the bias, otherwise chloroplasts would appear more yellow.

    But truthfully I’m neither a physist nor a biologist and I was kinda hoping to employ Cunningham’s law. So if I’m wrong please do correct me. Especially if it has to do with rods and cones since those never really made sense to me
