The leaves having colours other than green also have chlorophyll in them. Actually the large amount of red, violet, brown or other pigments in such leaves masks the green colour of chlorophyll.So the photosynthesis also takes place in his having colour other than green.

Answer:
The chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis is 'hiding' within the leaf color, whether it be purple, yellow or red. Our eyes lack the ability to see that chlorophyll is there. But these plants have their own chlorophyll. So they actually photosynthesise, but we can not see the green pigment chlorophyll
