Biotechnology has comprehensive applications parts that we have seen all around us. On the bases of these broad applications of biotechnology, we can categorize biotechnology into different categories based on the color indication -

1. Gold Biotechnology that relates to computational biotechnology known as bioinformatics.
2. Red Biotechnology indicates biotechnology uses in the medical and pharmaceutical industries and health preservation.
3. Blue Biotechnology relates to the exploitation of sea resources.
4. White Biotechnology is applied to uses of living cells like yeast, molds, bacteria, enzymes, and plants to produce quickly degradable products that require less energy moreover, all of them create less waste during their production.
5. Green Biotechnology is applied to agricultural processes.
6. Gray Biotechnology field is focused on environmental application part.
7. Yellow Biotechnology refers to the use of biotechnology in food production.
8. Violet Biotechnology relates to the law, ethical and philosophical issues around biotechnology.
9. Brown Biotechnology discusses the management of arid lands and deserts.
10. Black Biotechnology also known as Dark Biotechnology relates and is associated with bioterrorism or biological weapons that show the dark side of biotechnology.
