Do all cells have pigments inside of them? We are studying this in biology, and I am very confused! If possible, I would like a short, concise answer. I know that many of the science experts on this site forget that some people don't understand "big science words" (no offense, you can still answer!).
Does everything contain a pigment?
Yes; A pigment is a material that changes the color of light it reflects as the result of selective color absorption. Pigments appear the colors they are because they selectively reflect and absorb certain wavelengths of light. Even white light is a roughly equal mixture of the entire visible spectrum of light.
Reply:In addition to what saffron says, the color black is actually the absence of any light at all! So that means that if something is black, it is not reflecting any light back to your eye. Check out this website below on the science behind color (er pigment). Pretty cool.
