The search for mimicking natural living and non‐living systems with synthetic products leads to the fabrication of advanced colloidal morphologies with hierarchical micro‐ and nanostructures. Different chemical routes toward the synthesis of colloids with complex morphologies are presented and a tentative analogy between these routes and the four basic arithmetic operations is proposed.
