In 2013 scientists found that mandarinfish have unique pigment cells that can glow either blue or red.
To get even more personal, with their Bespoke Lipstick Service ($150 per person for two custom lipstick shades and a Lip Lab exclusive lip kit), their Lip Lab Artists will hand-mix unique pigment combinations to create two totally original shades.
Great whites possess unique pigment patterns that are commonly used to identify them.
I find my soul warmed by the special ways that people laugh, or the unique pigment in their eyes when they really look into mine.
Red and yellow petal colors in higher plants are generally produced by anthocyanins and carotenoids, respectively, but species belonging to the order Caryophyllales show unique pigment composition in their flowers.
But with the dyes, inks, coatings, and other unique liquid pigments he favors, as with watercolor, "mistakes" cannot be "fixed" -- there is only what is.
Fruits of Hylocereus species are characterized by unique betacyanin pigments, including the previously identified metabolites betanin, phyllocactin, and hylocerenin [ 40], that are responsible for the red color of the flesh and that exhibit antioxidant and antiproliferative activities [ 61, 62].
After laying on color, Humphries obliterates it with a unique silver pigment she customizes for herself, then scrapes some off to let bits of color peep through.
In the typical crustacean eye design, the photoreceptor cells R1 7 have a spectral sensitivity in the blue-green range (around 500 nm) while the R8 cell has a spectral sensitivity in the violet to ultraviolet range (see Fig. 8 'Step 1' for photoreceptor schematic); these differences in sensitivity imply that each photoreceptor type expresses a different opsin, forming a unique visual pigment.
Other differences in the structures allowed Mazor et al. to identify the location of a unique chlorophyll pigment group in the Synechocystis photosystem I. Since Synechocystis is commonly used as a model to study photosynthesis, an improved understanding of its photosystem I should lead to further improvements in our knowledge of photosynthesis.
