FAQ

Is gel food coloring a pigment or a dye?
Dyes contain pigments, my friend. What is a pigment? They are like little beads. Very very tiny beads of the same color. Then if you spread these out, they give the thing a color. For example, the little green beads in leaves give it a green color. Pigment in our hair gives it a blonde/auburn/brown/black color. What is a dye? A dye is a liquid made up of water and pigments. The pigments are dissolved in water (well not really dissolve just that you cant see the beads) so that it's easier for us to use it. Everything that has a color is made up of pigments. So, gel food coloring is a thicker version of a dye that contains pigments.

In biology, a pigment is any colored material of plant or animal cells. Many biological structures, such as skin, eyes, fur and hair contain pigments (such as melanin) in specialized cells called chromatophores. Many conditions affect the levels or nature of pigments in plant, animal, some protista, or fungus cells. For instance, Albinism is a disorder affecting the level of melanin production in animals. Pigment color differs from structural color in that it is the same for all viewing angles, whereas structural color is the result of selective reflection or iridescence, usually because of multilayer structures. For example, butterfly wings typically contain structural color, although many butterflies have cells that contain pigment as well. So pigment reflects color and absorbs light.
what is the pigment in hibiscus?
Hibiscus flowers bear pigments of three types: carotenoids, anthocyanins, and flavonols. The exact pigments (all three of those types are actually sizeable families of similar chemicals) and the exact proportions depend on the color of the particular flower: there are literally several hundred species in the genus Hibiscus, and they come in all shades of red, pink, yellow, and orange. Carotenoids are oil-soluble, fairly stable pigments that come in all shades of red, orange, and yellow. Anthocyanins are water-soluble and significantly less stable: they're responsible for the blues, pinks, purples, and reds, and in high concentrations can produce colors so dark as to look black. Flavonols are the least vivid of the pigments: they produce pale pastel yellows, cream colors, and off-whites. (Plain white flowers usually have no visible pigment at all.) Flavonols actually do most of their color absorption in the UV spectrum: they're the plant equivalent of the melanin in human skin, keeping them from getting sunburnt.

Why is it important for a plant to have more pigments than just chlorophyll?
If the plant only has chlorophyll, it is only able to absorb and use the wavelengths of light that correspond to chlorophyll, which is really limiting. Having other pigments allows it to use more wavelengths of light, which is more efficient.
I have bought 2 Mac Pigment to use as eyeshadow,I thought it was supposed to be easy to use,turned out it wasn't.My eye looked like I got hit, so messy and the pigment was all over the place. I wonder if i should wet my brush or do u have some kind of tricks before applying it.Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks for helping.
apply it carefully with the brush...if it loks to bad you can go back to the store to help you..they always help me there;)
