A pigment is a substance that imparts color to another material. These materials can be anything from paint and ink to cosmetics and biological tissues. Pigments work by selectively absorbing and reflecting certain wavelengths of light, thereby producing specific colors.
An example of a pigment is chlorophyll, which is responsible for the green coloration of plants. Chlorophyll absorbs most wavelengths of visible light except for green, which it reflects, giving plants their characteristic color.
