Best Answer

The pigments in plants are organic chemicals such as these:

Porphyrins for the reds

Carotenoids for the orange

Anthocyanins for the blues

Betalains for reds and yellows

chlorophyll for the greens

(Actually, chlorophyll is a porphyrin; porphyrins can be any color depending on the metal species at the center.)
