Abstract
Haems and bilins provide some of the most visually apparent pigments in nature, from blood-red to the azure blue of marine algae. Their colours are associated with the natural world, with health and well-being, and have been used for centuries to reinforce these associations in traditional food and cosmetic preparations.
