Pigmented Phenotypes
Pigmented phenotypes refer to cannabis plants expressing visible anthocyanins, carotenoids, and other secondary metabolites that produce purple, red, blue, or dark coloration in leaves, bracts, and sometimes flowers. These traits are genetically controlled and can be influenced by environmental stress factors such as cooler temperatures during flowering. Pigmentation has no direct relationship to cannabinoid or terpene profiles, though certain lineages bred for color expression may carry distinct genetic backgrounds. Breeders working in this category often select for stability and intensity of pigmentation across generations while maintaining other desired agronomic traits.

Pigmented phenotypes are pursued primarily for aesthetic differentiation in the market and breeding experimentation rather than functional cannabinoid outcomes. Breeders stabilize color expression through selective crosses and environmental protocol documentation to ensure consistency.
