As in like makeup pigments??????
Pigments are chemical compounds which reflect only certain wavelengths of visible light. This makes them appear colorful. Flowers, corals, and even animal skin contain pigments which give them their colors. More important than their reflection of light is the ability of pigments to absorb certain wavelengths.

(Explain what happens when a pigment molecule is struck by electromagnetic radiation in the visible light spectrum.)
pigments are molecules that absorb electromagnetic radiation. For example, the chlorophyll pigment in plants absorbs blue and red light, which is why they reflect green light (since green is the color not absorbed). Another example is melanin, which is the pigment that darkens the skin of people. Melanin absorbs UV to protect the skin. A pigment molecule struck by EM radiation in the visible region may absorb some of the light depending on what pigment it is.
I Need a Bright Colorful High Pigmented Eyeshadow Pallet. i saw some on amazon. but Tehre Out Of stock. :[ Also i need bright colors like realllly bright
Kryolan and Mehron are amazingly bright and are used by youtube makeup guru AllThatGlitters21 ALL the colors are intense, but they have to be used wet. They have a very strong color payoff, and are so true to the palet color. Mac pigments are kind of on the expensive side, and they do give you ALOT of product, but sometimes alot is a bad thing because you cant always use all of it. Hope this helps :)
what is one reason why plants have accessory pigment molecules like chlorophyll b and carotenoids?
They have different absorption maxima to chlorophyll a and so these accessory pigments make light absorption more efficient by absorbing some wavelengths not absorbed by chlorophyll a and thus provide a greater input of light into the reaction centres.
