Computational modelling explains why blues and greens are brightest colors in nature – Science Daily

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.

Researchers have shown why intense, pure red colours in nature are mainly produced by pigments, instead of the structural colour 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 colour — a phenomenon which is responsible for some of the most intense colours in nature — and found that it extends only as far as blue and green in the visible spectrum. The results, published in PNAS, c…
