Graph showing the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll 
and the carotenoids
A chromatographic separation of the leaf pigments shows that the colour that we see in leaves is not due to a single pigment but due to four pigments: Chlorophyll 
(bright or blue green in the chromatogram), chlorophyll 
(yellow green), xanthophylls (yellow) and carotenoids (yellow to yellow-orange).
