Lipochrome
Lipochrome (from Greek λίπος ("fat") and χρῶμα ("color")) is a naturally occurring fat-soluble pigment.
Carotenoid is sometimes considered a synonym,[1] but carotenoid usually refers to specific molecules, while lipochrome refers to accumulations of varied molecules.
Lipofuscin, a product of fat breakdown in lysosomes is a type of lipochrome that is associated with the decomposition of cell membranes.
