Because grey grass would be really boring I think - and animals like sheep and cows wouldn't be able to tell that it's grass if it was any other colour

Grass and most other plants are green because they contain a pigment
known as chlorophyll. The chlorophyll is used in the process of
photosynthesis where a plant produces sugar in the presence of
sunlight. In fact the word 'photosynthesis' means literally to
synthesize or 'make' from light (photo). There are, of course some
plants which do not contain chlorophyll, and these generally get their
nutrition (food) by other means. Some examples are the fungi which
decompose dead, and sometimes living, tissue, for their food.
You will find that a green plant needs light to make food. If the
source of light is cut off, the plant dies. Mushrooms, which are
fungi, do not require light to make food (they decompose matter
as I mentioned above) and you can find mushrooms growing in almost
total darkness.
The process of photosynthesis is described in great detail in many
science books. It is really the process by which life as we know it
is able to continue and renew itself.

Are you younger than 9?It's SOOOOO simple.Every person over 9 knows it.It's because of the chlorophyll in the leaves.
Chlorophyll is a substance that makes plants green.It is mostly found in leaves.Chlorophyll helps plants to make food by absorbing sunlight.Why do I say "mostly" found in leaves?Because moss(which happens to be green) has chlorophyll in it.
Unless you are younger than 9, I would not talk about fooling around.

Not all grass is green....
Grass is green coz of Chlorophyll.
green plant pigment used in photosynthesis: the pigment in plants that captures the light energy required for photosynthesis. In plants and algae, chlorophyll is contained within numerous minute membranous sacs chloroplasts within cells of the stems and leaves.

Like all green plants it contains chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to synthesise carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water. This process is known as photosynthesis and is the basis for sustaining the life processes of all plants.

Chloroplasts - they contain chlorophyll for photosynthesising. (which is green). Each leaf (palisade) cell contains many chloroplasts, each absorbing sunlight and combining it with water and C20 in the word formula
C20 + Water (+energy) = glucose [a complex sugar] + Oxygen

because it contain chlorophyll which is reponsible for the green colour
