Root Explanation

Chromogenic → It is formed from "chromo-" (from Greek "chroma", meaning color) and "genic" (from Greek "genes", meaning producing or generating). The word describes something that produces or generates color.

Memory Tip

Think of 'color' ('chromo-') being 'produced' ('genic') — that's why chromogenic refers to something that generates color.
