The image shows a schematic representation of close‐packed multilayer reflecting columns with the same periodicity but with random variations in location, both in horizontal and vertical dimensions, that form the Morpho‐mimetic thin‐film structural color reflectors described in the manuscript by J. H. Shin and co‐workers, on page 2375 . Overlaid are photographs of an actual Morpho butterfly, a 6‐inch diameter Morpho‐mimetic thin film that demonstrates its color, brightness, and flexibility, and images of cyan, green, and red ‘Morpho butterflies’ created from photos of Morpho‐mimetic thin films with corresponding colors.
