In the depths of the ocean, where secrets hide,
Waves pulsate beneath the sky,
Molecules of water, pristine and clear,
Reflect the sum in a blue-green sphere.

From the azure blink of distant stars,
To cobalt dreams of life on Mars,
In nature’s palette, blue is rare,
Painting day and night beyond compare.

From baby blue to dark and deep,
In every shade, a tale we keep.
Blue expresses feelings of melancholy,
Yet it brings hope, a sense of vitality.
A symphony of light, a bond with nature,
Thanks to Blue, life feels like a treasure.

The vibrant blues we see in some birds and animals aren’t due to blue pigments; instead, it’s an optical phenomenon. This effect is caused by the unique microscopic structures and shapes of their body surfaces, which reflect and refract light in fascinating ways.

Blue is everywhere — from the color of the sky to the color of the sea, from the wings of certain butterflies to the irises of some animals, and in the petals of a few flowers. Yet when it comes to blue in nature, it’s the rarest.

There are no blue cats, blue parrots, blue rabbits, or blue leopards. Whales that are classified as blue are actually more like gray. Even blue eyes aren’t technically blue, though they remain one of the rarest eye colors. Nearly all of nature’s blue is a structural color, not pigments.

Robert Hooke, an English physicist and scientist,
was the first to observe structural colors.
He wrote in his 1665 book Micrographia:

“𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚜𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚜 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚕𝚢 𝚏𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚕 𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚜.”
