Why capsicum have different colour?

Capsicum peppers have different colors due to varying levels of pigments, primarily chlorophyll, carotenoids, and anthocyanins. As peppers mature, chlorophyll breaks down, and carotenoids like beta-carotene and lutein become more prominent, resulting in colors ranging from green to yellow, orange, and red. The specific variety of the pepper also influences its color, with some naturally producing more of certain pigments than others. Additionally, the ripening process affects these pigment levels, leading to the vibrant colors observed in mature peppers.
