Structural colors are a result of the scattering of certain frequencies ofthe incident light on micro- or nanoscale features in a material. This is aquite different phenomenon from that of colors produced by absorption ofdifferent frequencies of the visible spectrum by pigments or dyes, which is themost common way of coloring used in our daily life. However, structural colorsare more robust and can be engineered to span most of the visible spectrumwithout changing the base material, only its internal structure. They areabundant in nature, with examples as colorful as beetle shells and butterflywings, but there are few ways of preparing them for large-scale commercialapplications for real-world uses. In this work, we present a technique tocreate a full gamut of structural colors based on a low-cost, robust, andscalable fabrication of periodic network structures in porous alumina as wellas the strategy to theoretically predict and engineer different colors ondemand. We experimentally demonstrate mesoporous network metamaterialstructures with engineered colors spanning the whole optical spectrum anddiscuss their applications in sensing, environmental monitoring, biomimetictissues engineering, etc.
