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.

$Cl _2+ H _2 O \rightarrow 2 HCl +( O )$ ( $O$ is oxidizing)

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

$SO _2+2 H _2 O \rightarrow H _2 SO _4+2( H )$ ( $H$ is reducing)
