The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of tetraterpenoid compounds, terpenoids with eight isoprene units. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a pigment, any general or particular coloring matter in living organisms, e.g. melanin. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of carotenoids, tetraterpenoid compounds in which two units of 4 isoprenoid residues joined head-to-tail are themselves joined tail-to-tail. The chemical reactions and pathways involving xanthophylls, oxygen-containing carotenoids. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of xanthophylls, oxygen-containing carotenoids. The chemical reactions and pathways involving carotenoids, tetraterpenoid compounds in which two units of 4 isoprenoid residues joined head-to-tail are themselves joined tail-to-tail.
