Green isn't the END of the spectrum.  Those weird coloured grow lights
have both ends of the spectrum.
I found this graph
https://www.supergrowled.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/PAR-Spectrum-Graph---Chili.jpg
under the text "Even within this spectrum, not all light is equal for
chilies, which utilize light with wavelengths primarily in the red and
blue regions for growth, photosynthesis and flowering. Green light is
of little use to chilies and other plants, and is mostly reflected,
resulting in the green leaves and stems we see in our gardens."
