The leaves appear green when we see it in white light because it contains a green substance that called chlorophyll, these pigments absorb some wavelengths of white light and reflect others, and we see only green light reflected by them.
So, a green leaf will always look green because it absorb all the wavelengths of visible light spectrum except green colour.

Chlorophyll- It is a green pigment found in almost all the green plants. It makes the leaf the green colour. It is vital for photosythesis.
