Pigment is a substance that can be found in plants and animals that has the property of absorbing light and to reflex it
a pigment has some kinds like biological pigment and arsenic pigment. i dont know much about the arsenic pigment. i would just tell something about the biological pigment. in biology, pigment is any material resulting in color of plants or animals cells. many biological structures like eyes,fur,hair and skin contains pigments like melanin in specialized cells called chromatophores.
In biology, a pigment is any material resulting in color of plant or animal cells. Many biological structures, such as skin, eyes, fur and hair contain pigments (such as melanin) in specialized cells called chromatophores. Many conditions affect the levels or nature of pigments in plant and animal cells. For instance, Albinism is a disorder affecting the level of melanin production in animals. Pigment color differs from structural colour in that it is the same for all viewing angles, whereas structural color is the result of selective reflection or iridescence, usually because of multilayer structures. For example, butterfly wings typically contain structural color, although many butterflies have cells that contain pigment as well.
