Red cayenne pepper contains carotenoids, primarily capsanthin and capsorubin, which contribute to its vibrant red color. In contrast, horseradish leaves contain chlorophyll, which gives them their green color, along with other pigments such as flavonoids that may contribute to their overall hue. Both plants have unique pigment profiles that serve various functions, including attracting pollinators and providing health benefits.
There are many pigments.Colored pigments are mainly Carotene and Xanthophyll.
the colored pigment found in siling labuyo is RED . while in malunggay leaves it is GREEN .
When you water leaves with colored water, the pigments in the leaves may absorb some of the color from the water, leading to a change in leaf color. This process is similar to how plants naturally absorb nutrients and water from the soil through their roots.
The green colored chemical removed from chloroplasts in leaves in fall is chlorophyll. As chlorophyll breaks down, the other pigments present in the leaves become more visible, leading to the variety of colors seen in autumn foliage.
The leaves are green because of the chlorophyll pigments.

Dock leaves and horseradish are two distinct plants with different characteristics and uses. Dock leaves, typically from the Rumex genus, are often found in gardens and meadows, known for their broad, green leaves and are sometimes used to soothe stings from nettles. In contrast, horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) is a root vegetable recognized for its pungent flavor and is commonly used as a condiment. While dock leaves are more associated with wild foraging, horseradish is cultivated for culinary purposes.
The leaves contain no pigments of that color.
During the summer months, chlorophyll, the green pigment in leaves, is dominant because it efficiently captures sunlight for photosynthesis. As chlorophyll breaks down in the fall, other pigments such as carotenoids (yellow and orange) and anthocyanins (red and purple) become more visible. The warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours in summer also support high chlorophyll production, masking the colors of these other pigments. Once chlorophyll production decreases, these pigments can be seen as the leaves change color.

A horseradish is a root vegetable. The root looks tubular and pale off-white, with green leaves and white flowers above the ground.
