The chemical reactions and pathways involving pigment, any general or particular coloring matter in living organisms, e.g. melanin, occurring during the deposition of coloring matter in an organ or organism. Any process that decreases the frequency, rate or extent of the developmental process that results in the deposition of coloring matter in an organism. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the developmental process that results in the deposition of coloring matter in an organism. Establishment of a pattern of pigment in one sex that is not observed in the other sex. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a pigmented cell, such as a melanocyte. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the developmental process that results in the deposition of coloring matter in an organism. The directed movement of eye pigment precursors, the inactive forms of visual pigments, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The deposition or aggregation of coloring matter in an organism, tissue or cell. Establishment of a pattern of pigment in the eye of an organism. Establishment of a pattern of pigment in the cuticle of an organism. The developmental process that results in the deposition of coloring matter in an organism, tissue or cell.
