Solution

Plant leaves obtain different colours due to the presence of different types of pigment like carotinoids (yellow, orange), anthocyanin (purple) etc. But chlorophyll is also present on these leaves but remains hidden or musked among other pigments. These chlorophylls perform photosynthesis just like other green plants. So coloured plant leaves also carry out photosynthesis like green plants.
