Can We Alter the Color of Leaves? - MonkeySee.com

I was watching the video on youtube provided by monkeysee.com explaining the reason we see leaf green is because it does not absorb green light hence reflects green light to our eye.
So it means if some how we change the biological/chemical properties of a leaf we won't see it as green? In other words we make leaf not absorb the green light then what?

That's right. It would appear to be whatever color isn't absorbed.
