A circlular structural‐colored contact lens is reported, which is fabricated by replicating self‐assembled colloidal photonic crystal templates. The structural‐colored contact lenses not only display variable and brilliant color under light illumination, but also avoid the addition of any colorants to the hydrogel lenses and prevent the potential harm posed by traditional colored contact lenses.
