Here's some hints:

1. Try a goggle.com search for: red cabbage anthocyanin

2. If two compounds are the same color, how could you tell them apart?

3. Consider what other pigments plants contain, their polarity
compared to chlorophyll and how the other pigments behave compared to
chlorophyll. The hint in #1 also applies here.
