Related: Melanistic animals are also super rare in nature.There were 450 cars made in blaze yellow so its one of the most rare Subarus out there - no one really cares, though, since its just a limited paint color and not performance. Since your car is model year 03, its Sonic.

Pigments appear the colour of the light they reflect, rather than the light they absorb. 2002 was only blaze yellow, sonic yellow was 2003. The main reason for this also has to do with the physics of light. They’re not actually blue, but rather reflecting blue light. Plants are the same as animals when it comes to their blue-ness. This is why people who eat too many carrots take on an orange tinge. The bright red of a red pepper is from its carotenoid structure. Most plants are green because of the compound chlorophyll, which has a green pigment. I guess that’s the research equivalent of blue balls, amirite? Is Blue Pigment Rare In Plants Too? Image: on Instagram Researchers have tried for years to come to an end with this, but they just can’t. That colour won’t change no matter how you look at them. The olivewing butterfly has chemically evolved the blue pigment on their wings. But that aside, this incredible insect is actually not even that rare. Personally, I think it’s a bit ironic that the only living creature that has actual blue on its body is literally named after green. There is only one living creature that’s actually blue: a butterfly called the olivewing. So What About The Blue Animals That We Can See? Image: on Instagram Each of their feathers have tiny beads spaced out in a way that causes all the other colours except blue to disappear. All birds that appear to our eyes to be blue are only reflecting blue light. Since the colour is based on the structure of their wings, if the wings come into contact with something different from the air, the blue colour will change.īirds are another great example of this. They have a microscopic structure that absorbs all the other colours except blue. Image: on Instagramįor example, the blue morpho butterfly appears blue because of the way its wings mirror the light. However, upon closer inspection, such as under a microscope or in a specific lab setting, the colour blue is nowhere to be seen. Using physical structures and light reflection, these animals project blue colour. This principle actually applies to human’s blue eyes as well. Some animals appear blue, but this is only because they’ve evolved to trick our eyes into seeing them this way. It’s the way we’ve always perceived different tones and hues. Humans see different wavelengths of light as colour. Let’s break that down, shall we? It’s Not So Much That Plants & Animals With Blue Colours Don’t Exist… We Just Can’t Really See Them Image: on Instagram

It’s actually the physics of light that make them appear blue.
