Chlorophyll is the pigment that causes leaves to be green. Its possible to get chlorophyll a (yellow-green) and chlorophyll b (blue-green). Carotenoids are also photosynthetic pigments - beta carotene (orange) and xanthophyll (yellow) are the two major ones. Autumn colours are caused by the tree taking in everything useful from the leaf and giving up all the toxins it wants to get rid of.

frequently the mesophyll of the cellular.that's made out of palisade and spongy parenchyma.those 2 parechyma have double row of chloroplasts than universal plant cellular as nicely the greater chloroplasts, the flat nature of leaf is greater green than different plant components
