Oxygen is produced in the light stage of photosynthesis at Photosystem 2 and results from the splitting of water. Chlorophyll does not absorb green light so in green light there will be less water split and so less oxygen is produced.so thats how we know the reason why a leaf is the color that it is. basically it is because of chlorophyll.

Hope this helps.
