Colour and structure
Part of the light is absorbed, part is scattered (non-directional)
Part of the light is reflected (directional) part is transmitted.
Reflected colour is STRONG but the material is TRANSPARENT

Hierarchical photonic pigments from BBCP microemulsions:• intense reflected colour – up to 100%• tuneable colour via the formulation• stimuli-responsive colour upon selective swelling
Robust interface-templated assembly process:• high tolerance to droplet size and drying rate• long-range order with minimal defects• functionality can be enhanced with additives
BBCP pigments can be embedded into coatings (e.g. paints)
