3 of the World's Most Intensely Colored Living Things

The video explores the concept of intense colors in nature, focusing on structural coloration rather than pigments. It highlights three examples: the marbleberry, known for its vibrant blue due to cellulose microfibers; the Kypochylus beetle, which achieves extreme whiteness through light scattering; and the birds of paradise, whose feathers absorb almost all light to create a super black appearance. These examples illustrate how structural features, rather than pigments, can produce some of the most vivid colors in nature.
