Hey,
Thanks for asking this question.
p-quinone is 1,4-Benzoquinone (C6H4O2)
o-quinone is 1,2-Benzoquinone (C6H4O2)
With auxochromes such as phenolic hydroxyl groups, quinones will show a certain color such as yellow, orange, reddish brown, purple and so on.
The more auxochromes there are, the deeper the color is.
The color of anthracene derivatives ranges mostly from yellow to orange-red.
Natural quinones are mostly colored crystals.
Benzoquinones and naphthoquinones are found mostly in free form; and anthraquinones exist in binding form as glycosides.
Hope my answer helps you.
