Electric‐field‐triggered “two‐state switching” between two arbitrary structural colors (see figure) in the entire visible region at certain temperatures is shown by a stimuli‐responsive chromic hydrogel. The external rapid tuning in the structural color of this hydrogel is successfully achieved by introducing a periodically ordered interconnecting porous structure.
