What colors are absorbed by the chlorophyll fraction?
The chlorophyll has usually a veyr green brilliant color
this is due to the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a between at 660 and 420 nm
According to the light spectrum, 660 nm has "red" color to th human eye whereas the 420 shows violet.
Therefore, substances with such range will reflect green and yellow; which is the color we see to the human eye (the ones that are actually being reflected and NOT absorbed)
NOTE: the answer is for "absorbed" therefore choose violet and red
