Biological pigment
A biological pigment is a pigment which gives an individual life form its colour.
Plants and animals have different reasons for being different colours, and their colours serve certain purposes. Chlorophyll in plants is a green pigment used to collect light energy to be used in photosynthesis. Many colours in plants and animals work to change the behaviour of animals. For example, some plants and animals use camouflage, warning or attraction (in order to help pollination or to find a sexual partner.
The common dark pigment melanin often has the function of protection against sunlight and ultraviolet radiation.
Pigments are different from structural colours. Pigments look the same from all angles. Structural color is the result of reflection or iridescence. Structular colour means that certain creatures appear from different angles to have different colours. For example, the wings of a butterfly look different from some angles compared to others.

Structural color
Structural coloration is a coloring that results from the special structure of the surface. Sometimes structural coloration is combined with pigments: for example, peacock tail feathers are pigmented brown, but their structure makes them appear blue, turquoise, and green, and often they appear iridescent.
English scientists Robert Hooke and Isaac Newton were the first who observed structural coloration. Thomas Young described its principle a century later and called it wave interference. Young described iridescence as the result of interference between reflections from several surfaces of thin films, combined with refraction as light enters and leaves such films. The geometry then determines that at certain angles, the light reflected from both surfaces adds (interferes constructively), while at other angles, the light subtracts. As a result, different colors appear at different angles.
