Wonder why food have colours?

In the world of plants, colours come mainly from four pigments:

Chlorophyll, in green vegetables

Carotenoids (β-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene) making carrots orange and tomatoes red

Anthocyanins (cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin) responsible for the red, purple, blue and even black colour of radishes, aubergines, artichokes, grapes, black rice and blackberries

Flavonols (quercetin, myricetin, kaempferol) giving many kinds of fruit and vegetables their yellow hue
 
These are phytonutrients one can get by consuming a variety of coloured foods. Among the benefits of phytonutrients are antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. 
 
This could be one of the reason why nature has made us more receptive towards bright and colourful foods. 

It is instinctive for anyone to choose a bright colourful food over a pale and dull option.
