Why so blue? Unique blue‐shifted UV absorptions were used to follow the aggregation of C 24 tetraene fatty acids in aqueous solution. Aggregation takes place through three distinct states (i.e. K→T 1 →T 2 ; see picture). It is suggested that all of these aggregates are lamellar‐type in a local sense but differ in the packing mode of the fatty acid backbone.
