Abstract :
The effect of material selection on the range and stability of colors generated by Morpho-inspired reflectors are investigated. We find that proper selection of materials is as important as replication of structures for generating vivid blue with angle-independency. Based on result, we suggest that low refractive index material containing absorption could lead pure and stable structural color of Morpho-inspired reflectors.
