The answer is blue and violet which are the wavelengths of visible light that is absorbed by the pigment. In addition, the photosynthetic pigment is a pigment that is existent in photosynthetic bacteria and captives the light energy essential for photosynthesis and is comprised of accessory, chloroplast and antenna pigment
