Why Do Leaves in Japan Turn Pink?

[Kt_Atis]

If chlorophyll makes leaves green, and carotenoid makes them yellow, orange, and brown, then what in the world makes the leaves in Japan pink??

 

[NoTime]

Anthocyanins found in leaves are red.
Red mixed with white light is pink.

Okay but how is this possible if all white light is absorbed in the Earth's athmosphere?

not all of the white light is absorbed, some is absorbed and some is scattered and some goes right through.
