Squid, cuttlefish, and octopus developed elaborate skin displays millions of years ago, with performance that is still superior in many ways to today's leading display technologies. Studying the mechanisms by which animals rapidly and efficiently change their coloration and patterning using only ambient light can offer bio‐inspired routes to improved display technologies.
