Plants pigments (in order of increasing polarity):
Carotene: an orange pigmentXanthophyll: a yellow pigmentPhaeophytin a[1]: a gray-brown pigmentPhaeophytin b[1]: a yellow-brown pigmentChlorophyll a: a blue-green pigmentChlorophyll b: a yellow-green pigment
Chlorophyll a is the most common of the six, present in every plant that performs photosynthesis. The reason that there are so many pigments is that each absorbs light more efficiently in a different part of theelectromagnetic spectrum. Chlorophyll aabsorbs well at a wavelength of about 400–450 nm and at 650–700 nm; chlorophyll b at 450–500 nm and at 600–650 nm. Xanthophyll absorbs well at 400–530 nm. However, none of the pigments[citation needed] absorbs well in the green-yellow region, which is responsible for the abundant green we see in nature.
