Blue: The Science and Secrets of Natures Rarest Color

Blue is a color that fascinates globally, yet true blue is rare in nature. Most blue hues in nature result from light manipulation rather than pigments, as seen in blue jays whose feathers create the illusion of blue through light distortion. Explore the mysteries of this captivating color, traveling from Kyoto, where scientists are working on a blue rose, to Brandenburg, where efforts are underway to save the "little blue macaw." Your journey spans from deep underground where blue crystals form to the view of Earth from space, uncovering the stories behind the elusive and enchanting color.
