Black pigment in the body primarily refers to melanin, a natural pigment produced by melanocytes in the skin, hair, and eyes. Melanin plays a crucial role in protecting against UV radiation from the sun by absorbing harmful rays, which helps reduce the risk of skin damage and certain types of skin cancer. There are different types of melanin, including eumelanin (which appears black or brown) and pheomelanin (which is yellow or red), contributing to the variety of skin and hair colors in humans.
