Smegma is typically white or yellowish in color. It is a combination of dead skin cells, oils, and other fluids that can accumulate under the foreskin in males or around the clitoris in females if proper hygiene is not maintained.

Summary:
General Background
Chlorophyll is a green photosynthetic pigment found in photosynthetic plants, algae, and bacteria. Its name is derived from ancient Greek: chloros = green and phyllon = leaf. Chlorophyll absorbs mostly in the blue and, to a lesser extent, red portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, hence its intense green color. There are several variants of chlorophyll (for example, see chlorophyll cycle for the biosynthesis of chlorophyll b and bacteriochlorophyll a biosynthesis for the biosynthesis of bacteriochlorophyll a). This pathway describes the formation of chlorophyllide a, an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of all chlorophylls.
About This Pathway
The biosynthetic pathway of chlorophylls begins with the condensation of eight molecules of 5-amino-levulinate (ALA, originating from L-glutamate) to uroporphyrinogen-III, the first cyclic tetrapyrrole (see tetrapyrrole biosynthesis I). This compound is then sequentially converted to protoporphyrin IX, which is the branch-point intermediate to hemes and chlorophylls. The incorporation of Mg2+ into protoporphyrin IX occurs at the next step, resulting in the formation of Mg-protoporphyrin (MgP). A methyl transferase subsequently converts MgP into magnesium-protoporphyrin IX 13-monomethyl ester (MgPMME), which is the substrate for a cyclase reaction, involving molecular oxygen. The cyclase forms divinyl protochlorophyllide a, an intermediate that contains a fifth ring (ring E), characteristic of all chlorophylls. Finally, a combined action by 3,8-divinyl protochlorophyllide 8-vinyl reductase and protochlorophyllide reductase//NADPH dehydrogenase results in the light-dependent formation of chlorophyllide a.
This biosynthetic pathway, which occurs in all aerobic photosynthetic organisms, has been described through genetic analysis of bacterial mutants and in vitro reconstitution of individual reactions [Suzuki97, Von95, Beale99, Ouchane04].
Anaerobic phototrophic bacteria possess a very similar pathway. However, the cyclase found in these organisms does not require molecular oxygen. A variant of the pathway found in anaerobic bacteria is described in chlorophyllide a biosynthesis II.

What the color green represent?
The color green represents joy and happiness. (Well that is what it means to me!)
What color can you mix with purple to get blue?
Mixing purple with a small amount of blue will create a deeper shade of purple but adding more blue will eventually result in a shade similar to blue-purple or indigo.
What colors can you combine with silver grey?
Silver grey pairs well with colors like white, black, navy blue, blush pink, and mint green. These colors create a sophisticated and modern look when combined with silver grey.
What is the color of ruby red used for?
The color ruby red can be used for various of things, such as a color dye for clothes, hair and nail polish. The color ruby can be used to represent many things, for example in the Chinese culture it is good luck, in Russia it is a symbol of communism and revolution and in Japan it is birth of a new life. There are both negative and positive symbol of the color ruby red.
Why do red and green pigments produce blackish when mixed?
When red and green pigments are mixed together, they absorb most wavelengths of light, leaving very little to be reflected. As a result, the combination appears blackish or dark brown because the pigment mixture is absorbing a wider range of wavelengths, including a significant portion of visible light.
To achieve a lime green color, mix yellow and green paint together. Start with yellow paint as the base and gradually add small amounts of green paint until you achieve the desired shade of lime green. Adjust the ratio of yellow to green paint as needed to fine-tune the color.
What color to be mixed to make voilet colors?
Violet is typically made by mixing blue and red. Varying the amounts of each color can create different shades of violet, from a more bluish hue to a more reddish hue.
What does the color of chyme look like?
Chyme is typically a yellow-greenish color due to the bile from the liver and gallbladder mixing with partially digested food in the stomach. As it moves through the digestive tract, chyme may change in color due to the absorption of nutrients and the passage of waste.
Why does blood turn to blue color?
Blood only appears blue when viewed through the skin because of the way light interacts with it. Oxygen-rich blood is bright red and oxygen-poor blood is a darker red color. The blue hue seen under the skin is due to light absorption and scattering, not the actual color of the blood.
What color does lithmus paper turn in acids?
Red color in acidic solutions and blue color in basic solutions.
What colors do you get when you mix red and yellow?
Mixing the colors of red and yellow would make orange.
Which oxide imparts the green colour in the glass?
Chromium oxide is the compound that imparts the green color in glass when added as a coloring agent.
What percentage of red and what percentage of blue mixed making royal purple?
Royal purple is typically a mix of red and blue in equal proportions, so it would be 50% red and 50% blue.
It has to do with our brain interpretation of the visual stimulus and how our eyes perceive and communicate to the brain the image of the light spectrum that is visible. Red things are red because of the specific spectrum of light that is being reflected from the item and our eyes' (and brain's) interpretations of that visible spectrum. For example, a matt finish black item reflects back no light, therefore looks black, but white colors reflect back all the light, therefore are seen as white (a mix of a full spectrum of colors reflected is perceived as white). Red colors only reflect back the red light, and absorb the other colors in the spectrum, so they are not visible to our eyes.
Interesting tidbit:
Very recent studies have indicated that different individuals see colors differently and in some cases, so do groups of people, such as a specific tribe of people who participated in one of the studies. That tribe not only has no word in their language for the color blue, they also can discern no difference between the color green and the color blue when side by side. As indicated above, these are very recent 2012 results and more is still being studied based on these results about how we see color. It is becoming more likely that our brain has as much or more to do with our sensing of color than our eyes. Keep an eye out for more results on this interesting new finding.
What colors are added to form yellow?
Yellow is a primary color. Primary colors can not be achieved by mixing any other colors. Therefore no colors added together form yellow.
Will a purple hightlighter come out of a blue shirt?
It may be difficult to completely remove purple highlighter from a blue shirt as the colors are similar. Treatment with a stain remover or enzyme-based detergent before washing may help break down the pigments and improve chances of removal. It's important to follow the garment care instructions to avoid damaging the fabric.
When you mix blue and purple what do you get?
When you mix blue and purple, you get a darker shade of purple. The blue tones down the vibrancy of the purple, creating a more subdued color.
What colour produces the widest diffraction pattern that is red blue green etc?
The color that produces the widest diffraction pattern is red because it has the longest wavelength among red, blue, and green light. Wider diffraction patterns are produced when light with longer wavelengths is used.
Where did color green came from?
The color green comes from a combination of blue and yellow pigments that are perceived by our eyes when light is reflected off an object. The perception of green is due to the way our eyes detect and interpret different wavelengths of light present in the blue and yellow range.
What are complementary pigment colors?
Complementary pigment colors are pairs of colors that, when combined, create a neutral gray or black. Examples include blue and orange, red and green, and yellow and purple. Mixing complementary pigment colors can be used to create contrast and balance in visual art.
