Physicist Kinoshita (Osaka U., Japan) explains that the mechanisms of structural colors are purely physical, rather than the ordinary coloration mechanisms such as pigments, dyes, and metals, where colors are produced by the energy of the consumption of light. After an introductory chapter on fundamental of structural coloration, he surveys butterflies and moths, beetles and other insects, birds, fish, plants, shells, spiders, and marine animals. His final chapter sets out the mathematical background, covering calculations for multilayer reflection, a model for the Morpho butterfly scale, the anti-reflection effect, average refractive index, and cholesteric liquid crystal.
