Computational modelling explains why blues and greens are brightest colous in nature – Phys.org

Researchers have shown why intense, pure red colors in nature are mainly produced by pigments, instead of the structural color that produces bright blue and green hues.
The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, used a numerical experiment to determine the limits of matt structural colora phenomenon which is responsible for some of the most intense colors in natureand found that it extends only as far as blue and green in the visible spectrum. The results, published in PNAS, could be us…
