利用叶绿素和类胡萝卜素的经典吸收光谱以及植物叶片中不含色素的其他物质成分的光谱，分别求得其在CIE1931色品图中的理论坐标，并根据色度学中的加法混色原理确定出高等植物叶色的理论域范围。实验数据与理论相吻合。

The chlorophylls and cartotenoids are the main pigments in leaves of the higher plants, which giveing the color of leaves. Based on the CIE1931 chromaticity coordinates of the chlorophylls and cartotenoids obtained from their classical absorption spectrum and the law of additive color mixing, the theoretical color gamut of higher plant leaves is determined. The theoretical prediction agrees well with the experimental results.
