Rich iridescent structural colors in nature, such as peacock feathers, butterfly wings, beetle scales, and mollusc nacre, have attracted extensive attention for a long time and they generally result from the interaction between light and periodic structures. However, non-iridescent structural colors, such as silvery structural colors, have received relatively little attention, and they usually result from non-periodic structures. Here, using optical microscopy, fiber-optic spectrometry, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and laser Raman spectroscopy, we investigate the origin of a novel structural color occurring at the edge of a bivalve shell (i.e., an otter shell). We find that: (1) the structural colors are observed to be uniform metallic silvery when viewed with the naked eye; (2) they are surprisingly multicolored with various colorful pixels juxtaposed together when viewed with an optical microscope; (3) each individual pixel shows a single color originating from a periodic, multilayered organic film with definite spacing (d); and (4) different pixels vary significantly in size, shape, and color with different d values (202–387 nm). Finally, we confirm that the macroscopic silvery color results from the pointillistic mixing of nano-to microscale iridescent pixels. We also discuss the special photonic structure responsible for the silvery color. We hope that this work can not only accelerate our comprehension of photonic materials, but also provide new inspiration for the synthesis of silvery white materials.

RSC Advances

Chemistry fascinates us. This discipline is integral to life and impacts so many aspects of our world. The scope for RSC Advances is wide-ranging because we want to capture any research that can offer crucial insights and advance chemistry. RSC Advances papers should provide an insight that advances the chemistry field. Papers that contain little or no chemistry and are not considered to be of interest or relevance to the chemistry community are not within the scope of the journal. The criteria for publication are that the work must be high quality, well conducted and advance the development of the field. Articles submitted to the journal are evaluated by our international team of associate editors and reviewers for the overall quality and accuracy of the science presented. Download our full list of subject categories to see the range of topics we publish in RSC Advances. Please ensure you have considered the following points before submitting your manuscript. Does the work present an advance over the existing literature?
