In article number 1702769 , Fiorenzo G. Omenetto and co‐workers demonstrate a new kind of amorphous silk‐based large‐scale inverse opal by an approach that effectively combines bottom‐up and top‐down techniques to obtain control on the nanoscale, microscale, and macroscale, resulting in a controllable photonic lattice and a resulting palette spanning almost the entire visible range. Thus, sub‐millimeter, multispectral patterns are defined.
