    Glossary Pigmentation

    natural coloring of tissues due to pigments like melanin

    Pigmentation refers to the natural coloring of an organism's tissues, primarily due to the presence of pigments like melanin in the skin, hair, and eyes. In humans, variations in pigmentation are responsible for different skin tones and hair colors, and changes in pigmentation can be indicative of certain medical conditions or genetic factors.
