Chromoplasts store red, yellow, or orange carotenoid pigments. They synthesize and store carotenoid pigments. For example, they are seen in carrots, tomatoes and red peppers.

Chromoplast: 1) Chromoplasts are non-green coloured plastids. 2) Chlorophylls are absent only carotenoids are present. 3) Lemallae are absent in them. 4) They add colour to the organs( e.g., flowers, fruits) for attracting animals to perform pollination and fruit dispersal.
