The curious thing is that sun gives most energy near green color so plants evolved to reflect the most energetic part of sun's spectrum.

And nobody knows why.

There’s speculation about this. Plants absorbing green grew too well and then the population collapsed on early earth. The survivors were mutants who didn’t absorb green.
