A group of pigments found in plants, including cannabis, responsible for producing a wide range of colors, particularly purple, blue, and red hues. These pigments belong to the flavonoid family and are most commonly expressed in cannabis leaves, stems, and flowers, especially under certain environmental conditions like cooler temperatures. In cannabis, anthocyanins not only contribute to the visual appeal of the plant but may also have potential antioxidant properties
