natural pigmentation
Skin's own color
Natural pigmentation refers to the coloring produced by pigments occurring in living organisms—the melanin in human skin and hair, the chlorophyll in leaves, the carotenoids in carrots.
The phrase often appears in discussions of skin tone: Her natural pigmentation protected her from sunburn.
It contrasts with artificial coloring from dyes, tattoos, or cosmetics.
