Description

Experience Pure Structural Colour, the boldest, brightest colour on Earth.

On display for the very first time at our spectacular show, these stunning, jewel-like shades have never been recreated by humans before - until now.

See this incredible technology in the world’s first botanical artwork using Pure Structural Colour, by renowned artist Coral G Guest.

Be immersed in a mesmerising large-scale kaleidoscope containing glass created with this stunning new colour.

Get a taste for how it could be used in the world of fashion and art and get a sneak peek at prototype accessories coated with the new form of colour.
What is Pure Structural Colour?

Some plants and animals have microscopic structures in their surface layers, which reflect sunlight in a specific way to generate bright colours.

This is how the dazzling blue-greens on butterfly wings and hummingbirds are formed.

Inspired by these naturally brilliant colours, this phenomenon has been reproduced artificially for the first time in history using cutting-edge technology by Andrew Parker and the scientific researchers at Lifescaped.
