Chromophore
text:
A chromophore is a molecule which absorbs light at a particular wavelength and reflects color as a result. Chromophores are commonly referred to as colored molecules for this reason. The word is derived from Ancient Greek χρῶμᾰ (chroma) 'color' and -φόρος (phoros) 'carrier of'. Many molecules in nature are chromophores, including chlorophyll, the molecule responsible for the green colors of leaves.
The color that is seen by our eyes is that of the light not absorbed by the reflecting object wit
