Yes
Some examples of pigment-producing bacteria include Serratia marcescens (produces red pigment), Chromobacterium violaceum (produces violet pigment), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (produces blue-green pigment). These pigments are often secondary metabolites and can serve various functions for the bacteria, such as protection from environmental stresses.
You probably got a false negative. M. luteus should be oxidase +. To determine M. luteus do a MSA plate which should not produce acid and barley grow. That means the plate will look red with a streak of yellow colonies due to the fact that M. luteus produces a yellow pigment.
Chlorophyll pigment produces green color, while carotenoid pigment produces red, orange, or yellow colors.
Micrococcus roseus does not typically test positive for mixed acid fermentation. This species of bacteria is known to produce pink to red pigment due to the presence of carotenoid pigments, but it is not typically associated with mixed acid fermentation.
Serratia marcescens colonies typically appear red or pink in color, produce a characteristic earthy smell, and are typically larger and more irregular in shape. On the other hand, Micrococcus luteus colonies are usually yellow or cream-colored, have a distinct circular shape, and do not produce any particular odor. Additionally, Serratia marcescens is motile, while Micrococcus luteus is nonmotile.
Micrococcus sedentarius is a species of spherical, Gram-positive bacteria that is commonly found in soil, dust, and water sources. It is known for its ability to produce a yellow pigment called sedentine. Micrococcus sedentarius is generally considered nonpathogenic to humans and is often used in laboratory studies for its unique physiological characteristics.

It is yellow, but after gram staining it turns purple.

Yellow is not a primary color of pigment. The primary colors of pigment are magenta, cyan, and yellow.
Mixing magenta and yellow pigment will result in shades of orange.
The easiest way to differentiate them is by color. Both are pigment producing, and while M. luteus has yellow colonies, M. roseus has pink colonies. If you need a more scientifically valid way of differentiating them, try using a nitrate reduction test. M. luteus can not reduce nitrate while M. roseus can.
No. Frogs have no green pigmentation in their skin at all. Like mammals, they are unable to produce green pigment. Mammals, reptiles and amphibians can only produce black and yellow-red pigment, and all colours and patterns on a frog's skin are the result of different combinations of these two pigments. Frogs contain variations of the yellow-red pigment. Most species of frogs appear green because of the pattern of refraction of blue light by special cells in their skin blending in with this yellow pigment.
