    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floral_color_change

    Ipomoea indica flowers change from bright blue to a faded purple by the end of the day. [2] Hibiscus mutabilis flowers changing colors during a day Floral color change occurs in flowers in a wide range of angiosperm taxa that undergo a color change associated with their age, or after successful pollination .

    Additionally, the pH of blue cell is around 4,1 and red is lower around 3,3. This supramolecule is relatively unstable and easily can fall apart in result of change of component concentration or pH conditions, so this can explain why blue colour in hydrangea sepals has low stability.

  4. Anthocyanin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthocyanin

    Not all land plants contain anthocyanin; in the Caryophyllales (including cactus, beets, and amaranth), they are replaced by betalains. Anthocyanins and betalains have never been found in the same plant. [10] [11] Sometimes bred purposely for high anthocyanin content, ornamental plants such as sweet peppers may have unusual culinary and ...

    The water in the plants turns green when hit with rays of the sun and the older parts of the plants blacken a little from age. Pseudo-Aristotle, de Coloribus 5.1 [2] However, the shoots and roots which remain underground do not receive sunlight light so instead of turning green they remain white which is the base color of plants before any ...

  6. Biological pigment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pigment

    Chlorophyll is the primary pigment in plants; it is a chlorin that absorbs blue and red wavelengths of light while reflecting a majority of green. It is the presence and relative abundance of chlorophyll that gives plants their green color. All land plants and green algae possess two forms of this pigment: chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.

  7. Chlorophyll - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorophyll

    Chlorophylls absorb light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum as well as the red portion. [5] Conversely, it is a poor absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum. Hence chlorophyll-containing tissues appear green because green light, diffusively reflected by structures like cell walls, is less ...

  8. Structural coloration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_coloration

    The brilliant iridescent colors of the peacock's tail feathers are created by structural coloration, as first noted by Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke.. Structural coloration in animals, and a few plants, is the production of colour by microscopically structured surfaces fine enough to interfere with visible light instead of pigments, although some structural coloration occurs in combination ...

  9. Variegation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variegation

    Variegation of fruits and wood in Ficus carica 'Panascè', a bicolor (yellow-green) common fig cultivar. This Italian cultivar is a chimera. Chimeric plants contain tissues with more than one genotype. [further explanation needed] A variegated chimera contains some tissues that produce chlorophyll and other tissues which do not. [7]
