Most produce chlorophyll and absorb sunlight for food. They don't look green because they contain other pigments that mask the green color, making them red, black, purple, etc, but they can still subsist on sunlight via photosynthesis.

Answer with Explanation:
Chlorophyll is one type of pigment that is part of the machinery of photosynthesis, but there are other pigments that are other colors that can do photosynthesis too.
In fact, even leaves that look green have other pigments in them. You can see these pigments when trees and shrubs lose their leaves in fall (if you live where this happens). The colors of fall leaves were in the leaves all along, but hidden by the chlorophyll.
All plants that use photosynthesis to make sugars contain chlorophyll. Therefore if a plant does not contain chlorophyll, it will not be able to use photosynthesis. Even though chlorophyll will always be seen as green, there are other pigments that leaves can have that are reddish that cover up the green color. One reason for this is that some plant-eating animals might be attracted to the green color so it helps the plant to cover it up with red. So generally, plants with non-green leaves will have chlorophyll and photosynthesis, unless they happen to be one of the species of parasitic plants that eat other plants for energy.
sometimes, but mostly not - the chlorophyll pigment is green, and while there are other pigments that also color leaves and are not green, anything that is going to photosynthesize need chlorophyll.
