Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of melanin in mammals, the brownish black eumelanin and the reddish yellow pheomelanin.
Detailed explanation-2: -While eumelanin and pheomelanin control the colors of things you see (such as skin, hair and eyes), neuromelanin is responsible for the color of your neurons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Melanin is brown, non-refractile, and finely granular with individual granules having a diameter of less than 800 nanometers. This differentiates melanin from common blood breakdown pigments, which are larger, chunky, and refractile, and range in color from green to yellow or red-brown.
