Oldest colors: Bright pink, dark purple, blood red: A look at the oldest colors of the world discovered

MELBOURNE: Scientists have discovered the oldest colors of the geological disk – bright pink pigments, aged 1.1 billion years old and extracted from the deep rocks of the Sahara Desert in Africa.

Pigments extracted from the marine black shales of the Taoudeni Basin in Mauritania, West Africa, were more than half a billion years older than previous pigment discoveries, said Nur Gueneli of the Australian National University (ANU).

"Bright pink pigments are the molecular fossils of chlorophyll that have been produced by ancient photosynthetic organisms inhabiting an ancient ocean that has long since disappeared," Gueneli said.
