If an object absorbs light of most visible frequencies (absorbs because the light's frequency matches electron's frequency), and reflects red, for example, the object appears red. (reflect because red falls below or above the electron's natural frequencies).
Plants use light in the 450 and 700 nm range. Meaning the plants like indigo-blue and orange-red light. Certain colors in light rays are important for proper plant growth. Leaves reflect and derive little energy from many of the yellow and green rays of the visible spectrum. Yet the red and blue parts of the light spectrum are the most important energy sources for plants, and plants require more rays from the red range than from the blue.
