Biliverdin is green in color, while bilirubin is yellow in color. Both biliverdin and bilirubin are products of the breakdown of hemoglobin during the normal process of red blood cell degradation. Biliverdin is initially produced and is then converted into bilirubin, which contributes to the yellow coloration seen in conditions like jaundice.
