Algae are divided into three groups based on their color. The color of the different groups of algae derives from the photosynthetic pigments of these algae. Red algae contain the red accessory pigment phycoerythrin; brown algae contain fucoxanthin; and green algae contain chlorophylls a and b, which are not masked by accessory pigments.
