the more soluble the plant pigment is with the chromatography solvent, the farther it will travel up the chromatography paper
assuming you used an ether based chromatography solution it will be the pigment that is at the top of the chromatography paper
chromatography is basically a technique used for the separation of different components.... plant pigment consist of different components..... the sample is taken nd spotted over a chromatography paper..... nd den it is kept in suitable solvent to get separated...... different components travel different distance on chromatogram.... dis is how v cn use chromatography to study plant pigments...
The pigment of a flower can be extracted by first adding a soln. of ethyl alcohol to the petals of the flower taken in a test tube and then boiling it to 100 degree celsius in a water bath.The soln. obtained by filtering the above soln. contains the floral pigments

Chromatography.
chromatography
The process is called chromatography. The property is the attraction of pigments to a liquid or solution (such as water) and its ability to dissolve in the solution. In paper chromatography, a pigment that dissolves easily in water will travel farther up the paper as opposed to an oil, that does not dissolve in water.
A technique called Chromatography is used.
Chromatography is a technique that separates molecules from each other on the basis of their solubility in particular solvents. As a nonpolar solvent moves up the chromatography paper, the pigment moves along iwth it. The more non-polar a pigment, the more soluble it is in a nonpolar solvent, and the faster and father it proceeds up the chromatography. Pg 94, laboratory 8.1, Inquiry into Life, Sylvia S. Mader, laboratory manual, 12th edition

Plants are green because of the presence of a green pigment called chrolophyll. This pigment is responsible for sunlight hervesting. When you make a plant extract this pigment get solubilized into extract by the phospholipids (a major component of cell wall) leading to green color. Actually, most plant extracts are not green, and you can see the colors at herbalextractsupplier.com.
A non polar solvent will determine the distance in which a pigment moves up a paper. This will only work on chromatography paper.
