Blue is one of the rarest colors among plants and animals. It is estimated that less than 1% of all animals have any blue pigment. This is because the chemistry required to produce blue pigment is very complex and difficult to complete. More often, it is easier for animals to use structures in the wings/ skin / feathers to reflect blue, rather than produce the pigment from within. Some of the strategies birds and butterflies employ include:
- Iridescence: Some butterfly's wing scales are shaped in ridges that bend light so that only blue light is reflected.
- Selective reflection: Blue jays have microscopic beads in their feathers that scatter light, canceling out every wavelength except blue.
- Rayleigh scattering: Rayleigh scattering is the scattering of light or other electromagnetic radiation by tiny particles. This phenomenon makes the sky appear blue as well as some animals, such as bluebirds.
