Anthocyanins

India's Western Ghats purple frog (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis) gets its name from its striking purple skin colored by anthocyanins like pigments. ^[1] Iraklizourabichvili (talk) 20:24, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reference Footnote 1o page number incorrect

While looking into neolithic purple to find an image of it on cave walls, I checked this source Couleurs-pigments dans les mains des peuples on the internet archive's copy of the book and although I cannot read French the page number provided lead me to the segment for blue. I think the correct page number is 119 to 121. Not only is it in the purple section, it has an image of a cave painting, but it also mention manganese, hematite, and the Pech-Merle caves like the paragraph the footnote is attached to. ~2026-33056-93 (talk) 01:23, 4 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
