Describing organisms or cells that produce or bear color; capable of producing pigments or colored substances.
From Greek 'chroma' (color) + 'parus' (bearing/producing, from 'parere' to produce). This rare biological term describes color-producing capacity.
Chromoparous organisms like certain bacteria and algae can actually make their own bright colors, which is amazing because they're essentially producing paint from simple chemicals inside their cells.
