it has a special relation with photosynthesis.
I have ever heard that plants do well in photosynthesis in blue, violet and red light, and plants do the worst photosynthesis in green light.
if the plants can`t do the photosynthesis, the plant won`t grow well.

Because plants photosynthesize using visible light, the chlorophyll absorbs light in the blue violet and the red end of spectrum. But reflects the green this is why leafs are green. This means that plants will grow better in blue violet and red light than they would in green. The wavelengths of light in which photosynthesis occurs is know as the action spectrum.

It has to do with their photosynthetic pigments. For example, a plant will not grow well in green light because the majority of chlorophyll is green which means it reflects green light and does not absorb it. A plant needs to absorb light to perform photosynthesis.

Cuz, plants need light for photosynthesis to activate their photosynthetic pigments. Because of the light absorption capablity of their photosynthetic pigments for different wavelengths of light is different usually plants dont grow alike at all colours of lights..

Plants convert nutrients thru photosynthesis. The process is heavily dependent on sunlight, therefore the closer the light provided is to the spectrum of unfiltered sunlight the closer to normal growth.

Light has different wavelengths with red with the least and the highest, violet. Red could stunt growth due to lack of energy, while violet has the most energy so it would speed or continue the process of photosynthesis completely.

it produces different effects on the level of Chlorophyll that the plant gets from the light.

convinced it may i don't recognize on your particular examples, yet i recognize that: mild contained in the blue/violet variety encourages the plant to strengthen more beneficial leafy and hairy at the same time as mild contained in the pink/orange variety encourages the plant to strengthen very tall (yet no longer leafy) and it also encourages flowering. eco-friendly/yellow mild doesn't do a lot for the plant in any respect

Because different plants react to different colors. DUH. lol I'm just kidding. I have no clue.
