名词 n.
  1. Colouration produced by microscopic structures that reflect/refract light rather than pigments.
    — First, a blue pigment is known from birds (rhodoxanthin, a xanthophyll producing the blue of fruit pigeons, Ptilinopus; see Buckley 1982 : 61), although the blue of parrots is almost certainly not based on a pigment (biochrome), but rather is a schemochrome (structural color).
