Pink and purple potato flesh gets its natural color from plant pigments called anthocyanins. The amount and distribution of these pigments vary among potato varieties, creating different shades and patterns. Some varieties have pink flesh, others have deep purple flesh, and certain types display colorful marbling when cut open.
