Abstract
We describe the self-assembly of biomimetic isotropic films which display structural color amenable to potential applications in coatings. Isotropic structures can produce color if there is a pronounced characteristic length-scale comparable to the wavelength of visible light and wavelength-independent scattering is suppressed.
