No. They are green because they reflect green. If they used green it would be absorbed and they would not be green. Photosynthesis do not use green light at any significant level, that is why plants appear green as well. It just gets reflected while other wavelengths are being absorbed.
When you increase green, they reflect it more that’s why they appear more green to you. Also human eye is very sensitive to green, so even small changes are noticeable.
