What is the color of pheomelanin?

  1. Black/Brown

  2. Reddish yellow

  3. Blonde

  4. White

The correct answer is: Reddish yellow

Pheomelanin is a type of melanin that is responsible for red and yellow pigments in the hair and skin. This is why the correct answer is "Reddish yellow." Pheomelanin gives redheads their distinctive hair color. The other options are not correct because: - Black/Brown refers to eumelanin, which is responsible for black and brown pigments. - Blonde is a result of a combination of different types of melanin, not just pheomelanin. - White is not a color of pheomelanin.
