      <image:caption>Figure 1: Illustrations of pigmented color (A) and structural color (B). Plants are green because the pigment chlorophyll absorbs all colors except green. Morpho butterflies appear blue despite being pigmented brown because the microstructures on their wings selectively reflect blue light. Note that light from the sun includes a mixture of all visible colors.</image:caption>
