∙ 10y agoNormal urine color results from a pigment called urochrome. The actual tint will depend on the concentration or dilution of the urine. The color of urine may not always be normal; B vitamins, for example, turn urine green, and carrot juice can turn it orange.

The answer is definitely not swine flu. A lack of Melanin, which is is the pigment that gives color to hair and skin, causes Amelanosis, commonly known as albinism.
Pigment proteins that transfer electrons and change colors are known as chromoproteins. These proteins are capable of absorbing and releasing light in different wavelengths, resulting in the change of color.
The human red and green photopigments are specified by genes on the long arm of the X chromosome (Xq28). In individuals with normal color vision, the locus was proposed to consist of a single red pigment gene upstream of one or more copies of green pigment genes. The presence of a single red pigment gene in the array was confirmed by demonstration of only one retinal mRNA transcript coding for the red opsin. In individuals with multiple green pigment genes, it is unknown whether all genes are expressed. We analyzed the sequence of red- and green-specific mRNA from retinas of individuals with multiple green pigment genes in comparison with the corresponding genomic DNA sequences. The data showed that only a single green pigment gene is expressed. We therefore suggest that a locus control-like element, already known to be located 3.8 kilobases upstream of the transcription initiation site of the red pigment gene, allows transcription of only a single copy of the green pigment genes, probably the most proximal copy. This finding provides an explanation for the not-infrequent presence of 5' green-red hybrid genes in individuals with normal color vision. Such hybrid genes are usually associated with defective color vision. We suggest that 5' green-red hybrid genes produce defective color vision only when their position in the gene array allows expression in the retinal cone cells.
Vitiligo medically known as achromia, which means loss of color. Vitiligo is a disorder in which white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body. Vitiligo is more commonly known as leucoderma, which simply means white (leuco) skin (derma), i.e. a skin disorder where it loses its normal coloration. This happens because the cells that make pigment (color) in the skin are destroyed. More information can be found at: http://antivitiligotablets.com

Carbon black is a common form of carbon used as a pigment. It is produced by incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons and is known for its black color and ability to absorb light.
It is an organic compound ( a group ) of which the most commonly known is heme, the pigment that gives blood its red color. Word (prophyrin) comes from Greek word for purple, relates to their deep color. Heme is cofactor in protein hemoglobin.
Cell parts called chloroplasts are present in the plant cell. Chloroplast contains a pigment known as chlorophyllwhich imparts green colour to the leaves.
