    Decoding Nature's Underutilization of The Color Blue

    Uploaded by

    rb
    Blue is an underutilized color in nature for several key reasons. Fewer than 10% of flower species and only one known butterfly species rely on the blue pigment. No fur-bearing mammals exhibit a blue color. Blue is rarely an advantageous color for animals trying to survive or find mates, as bright colors can signal toxicity to predators or prey and impact an animal's ability to remain camouflaged. The physics of light absorption also makes blue pigmentation energetically costly for most organisms. As a result, less than 1% of the animal kingdom exhibits a natural blue color.
