What are the two types of melanin?

Eumelanin and carotenin

Eumelanin and carotenin are the two types of melanin. Eumelanin is responsible for black and brown colors in the hair, skin, and eyes, while carotenin contributes to red and yellow pigments in the body. The other options are incorrect because phenomelanin and carotenoid are not the types of melanin found in the body. Neuromelanin is a type of melanin found in the brain and is not one of the two main types of melanin responsible for pigmentation in the hair, skin, and eyes.
