Anthocyanin
Environment and genetics both play a role in the coloration of a plant. But what exactly causes each variety to look the way it does? This is due to a flavonoid called Anthocyanins. They are typically found in fruits, vegetables, cereals, teas, and nuts as well as in the cannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis plants. For plants to express vibrant non-green hues, they need the genetic building blocks to do so.
These building blocks are called anthocyanins, which are a family of flavonoids that provide purple, red, or blue pigments
Although not all cannabis strains will express purple, blue, or red hues in their lifetime, those equipped with the right genetics may do so under certain environmental conditions. The reason why cannabis produces flavonoids and anthocyanin, researchers have observed, is for protection.
