English term or phrase: Biochromes
Biochromes, which are microscopic, natural pigments in an animal's body, produce colors chemically. Their chemical makeup is such that they absorb some colors of light and reflect others. The apparent color of a pigment is a combination of all the visible wavelengths of light that are reflected by that pigment.

Asker: Thank you for your answer. I am afraid that the phrase "pigmenty naturalne" is just too wide. "Biochomes" seems to be a subclass of natural pigments. As far as I know, neither chlorophyll nor indigo are biochromes
