An organism, cell, or chemical compound that exhibits a strong affinity for colored dyes and pigments.
From Greek 'chroma' (color) and 'phile' (lover of). An alternate spelling of chromophil used primarily in biology and chemistry.
Chromophiles are living things and molecules that are basically color enthusiasts—they grab onto dyes so strongly that scientists use them as 'biological markers' to track diseases and processes in living bodies!
