Unpigmented refers to something that lacks or has a reduced amount of natural pigment or color. Some synonyms for unpigmented include colorless, achromatic, uncolored, white, pale, and light. These words describe objects, organisms, or substances that do not have the characteristic hue of their kind. They could also denote lightness or a lack of vividness, intensity, or saturation. Unpigmented skin or hair is found in albinos, while unpigmented flowers or fruits may come from hybridization. In some cases, unpigmented materials such as paper, cloth, or plastic are intentionally used to create a blank canvas or a neutral background for printing or painting.
