Sulphur dioxide and chlorine gas are the two gases that bleach the colour of flower by oxidation and reduction.

Chlorine reacts with water and produces a single oxygen atom also called nascent oxygen. This nascent oxygen when combines with any colour make it colourless.

Cl2+H2O2HCl+(O) (O is oxidizing)

Sulphur dioxide when reacts with coloured substances it releases oxygen from the substance resulting in loss of colour.

SO2+2H2OH2SO4+2(H)  (H is reducing)
