Definition
A type of pigment or coloring substance that differs from or contrasts with surrounding pigments in an organism.
Etymology
From Greek hetero- (different) + chroma (color). Biological term describing pigmentary variations in animals and plants.
Kelly Says
Animals with heterochrome coloring often use it for camouflage or communication—like the spotted patterns on jaguars that break up their outline, or the eye rings on animals that look like staring eyes to scare predators.
