Best Answer

Chlorophyll (a, b, c, d, e, f), carotenoids (carotenes, xanthophyll, fucoxanthin), and phycobilins (phycoerytherin, phycocyanin) are the major groups of pigments that are associated with photosynthesis.

Plants mostly use chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenes, and xanthophyll as their photosynthetic pigments.

Green colors are produced by the presence of chlorophylls a and b located in the chloroplasts. Yellow and orange colors are produced by carotenoids and xanthophylls also in the chloroplasts. Blue, violet, purple and dark red are usually produced by a group of water-soluble pigments, the anthocyanins, that are located in the cell vacuoles and do not participate in photosynthesis.
