I found the structures on a website, but I'm not great at identifying functional groups.

It's hard to know what you're asking. The point is that there are no functional groups "separately." The compounds are utterly distinct.

Chlorophyll has a macrocyclic ring of pyrrole molecules, joined by -CH= It's called a porophyrin ring. With Mg2+ in the center of the ring, and phytyl alcohol off to one side, it's chlorophyll. Other variations are hemoglobin and vitamin B12.

Anthocyanins are two hexagons of carbon atoms sharing a common side. Imagine 1-oxynaphthalene. At the 2-position of this 1-oxynaphthalene there is a benzene ring. All of these rings are decorated with hydroxy groups.

Anthocyanins are the coloring materials of grapes, red apple skins, autumn (red) leaves, and flower petals of ALL hues
