Answer:

Algae-colored snow is a more common phenomenon. Single cellular algae can turn the usually white precipitation into an array of colors such as red, yellow, blue, and green. ... They contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that helps plants get energy from light, but also results in green-tinted ice-crystals.
