‘Pigments are present in all living matter and provide attractive colors and play basic roles in the development of organisms. Pigments produce the colors that we observe at each step of our lives, because pigments are present in each one of the organisms in the world, and plants are the principal producers. They are in leaves, fruits, vegetables, and flowers; also, they are present in skin, eyes, and other animal structures; and in bacteria and fungi. Pigments are chemical compounds that absorb light in the wavelength range of the visible region."
