Green, Orange, and Red Pigments.
The basic purpose of the solvent is to move the pigments up the chromatography paper through capillary action so that the pigments can be separated. The basic importance of chromatography is to separate different solvents by their molar mass. In doing so, one can separate the different pigments within a solution and measure how much of each pigment is present.
Because the retention coefficients of different substances are also different.
In order for a biologist to sepearate leaf pigments, he should use chromatography. Hope this helps because I too, had to answer a question just like this for biology!

Paper chromatography can be used to separate pigments in plants. The pigments are separated into chlorophylls (greenish colors) and carotenoids (yellowish colors).

place the flower petals in a mortar and pour alcohol on it the grind it with a pistil to extract the pigments
To separate the substance from rare abundanceto separate pigments from natural substanceto separate color pigment in dyesto identify drugs from blood

Place leaf in beaker and heat with Bunsen burner until water has discolored and boiled, then place leaf in test tube filled methylated spirits and place in same beaker as before with the burner turned OFF. Methylated spirits boils at around 80 degrees Celsius so when placed in heated water it will boil. This process will separate the chlorophyll (pigment) in the leaf.
Chromatography separates a mixture of pigments, usually in inks. You can separate colours in food and felt tips. The different solubilities of the different ink pigments, make some rise above others so you can see them clearly.
