To the best of my non-professional knowledge: It's not quite accurate to state that the liver releases abnormal pigments as it's actually the abnormal, non-release of pigments (via bile) responsible for the yellowing. My understanding is that a disorder of the liver can result in it's impaired ability to properly convert certain insoluble pigments of waste material into a dissoluble compound capable of being excreted as a dissolved constituent of bile or urine. Incapable of exiting the body, the waste pigment remains in the bloodstream and accumulates. It will collect and build up toxic levels of pigmentation which results in the visibly dramatic yellowing of the skin, eyes etc.
