    The skin changes colour as the bananas ripen.

    Not necessarily, i've seen purplish and pinkish ones.

    But the common ones we see in the supermarket become yellow due to ripening and possibly due to the ethylene gas used to ripen them.

    Because whatever pigment is inside them reflects yellow light, and absorbs all other colors of light.

    I don't really know if it'd be pigment or not but I think that's it.
