Here's why:
* Pigment: Grass doesn't have green pigment like many plants. It has a pigment called chlorophyll, which is primarily responsible for absorbing light energy for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs most colors except green, which it reflects back.
* Reflection: The green light that we see is what's left over after the chlorophyll absorbs the other wavelengths. It's not actually a color that the grass itself "possesses" in the way a blue object has blue pigment.
So, to be precise, grass isn't inherently any particular color. It appears green because of the way chlorophyll interacts with light.
