Grass is green because grass and other green plants have a chemical called chlorophyll, and its special structure allows it to specifically catch blue and red light. All light has energy, and chlorophyll absorbs the colors that have the correct energy to help power the plant's machinery. The plant can then turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a sugar. The leftover light, mostly green, bounces off and reaches our eyes; since there's a lot of chlorophyll in plants, we see them as being green. Calm down....you take science & color and turn it into a pile of text that most people probably won't read (no offense) Sorry. BTW Did you know that objects don't really have color but they have the properties to "get" color from light? Therefore in different light IE:Red light, the color must be completely different! Oooooooooook.....more color information I probably will never need... I think its interesting, I love science so I enjoy reading about this "colour information" :)
