Blueberries LOOK blue due to the layer of wax coating the fruit skin, giving them that characteristic dusty look. That diffuses the light bouncing back off a deep purple coloured fruit, making it look blue, but it's actually more purple.
Not really. Pink, blue, or hot red hair is only okay on anime characters. If you see people with it, those people usually have problems. It's a tell, just like problem glasses.
Yo listen up, here's the story About a little guy that lives in a blue world And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue Like him, inside and outside Blue his house with a blue little window And a blue Corvette And everything is blue for him And himself and everybody around 'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa Da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa, da ba dee da ba daa
The Earth Some people are naturally blonde though, I was blonde until I was about 5 years old, then it went brown. My friend has naturally blonde hair though.
OceanicGuy 16 dude! That guy is saying if you REPLACED blonde with blue hair THEN it wouldn't be a natural hair colour! He's/She's just messing about! Did you SERIOUSLY believe him/her??!!!😂
+MrFuzziiWuzzii I want it done without constantly dying my hair. I want to apply for a job and have a certificate that says it's my natural hair color.
As a child i always thought that having hair color kinda like blue or green was natural of the human being to grow in our heads or body, but nope, anime messed up with my young mind my whole life
I thought as a child that all races have 4 hair colors and all styles like black people can have naturally straight and asians curly and that all have eye colors like white people lol
Wow...I'm an author of science-fantasy stories, and I made a bunch of mythical creatures "real" for it (including dragons, which are my favorite), but I'd made blue dragons incredibly rare and now I feel justified doing that! ...I'd used an entirely different reason than this for why it was rare, but still.
Where might I be able to catch a read? *Fellow writer here* I love reading other people's works! It's inspiring and plus it's a breath of fresh air from what I work on.
blue eyes are eyes without melanin. melanin is what gives people their color. a white person with blue eyes and blonde hair is a person without melanin
*sorry my english is not that good lol * he said that animals developed physical structures that refelcts light in blue color. the color of our eyes are basically the thing called stroma wich is blood vessels and nerves. i know that without pigment it is blue. but is it because the nerves and blood vessels are blue or is there a physical structure? i hope you understand xd
your blue eyes are actually reflecting the blue because of the water molecules in your eyes much like the water vapor makes the sky blue...the darker or farther from blue, through green, hazel , then brown, the more melanin you have dispersing this reflection and showing the broader , thus more overpowering wavelenghts....sooooo....your blue eyes reflect the light of the sky..
It's a lack of brown pigment. All eyes are blue "underneath", look up the surgery they do now on brown eyes to remove the brown pigment. Blue/gray eyes are what's left. Your eye color is based on how much brown pigment you have. A lot of it gives brown eyes, lesser amounts give green and hazel eyes (the yellowish brown of the small amount of pigment on top of the blue underneath equals green, make sense?) and a lack of any brown pigment just leaves the blue itself. That's why people can have kids with any eye color, it's based on a lot of different genes telling the eye how much pigment it has, not a specific gene for blue or green, etc. Eye color is actually very complex and interesting to me. Green eyes are the least common, only 2% of the population has them. They first appeared where brown and blue eyed populations met and reproduced (thus making eyes with SOME brown pigment, but not enough for true brown eyes), I've always liked that for some reason.
Contrary the Contrarian Thanks. Thought when I said that people's eyes are blue because they don't have any brown pigment it was pretty clear, but I guess he needed smaller words or ??? Lol.
***** I'm not actually bothered by it. It's just funny. I love the fact I can go from Chloe to the siren, Maya, just by adjusting my part. It's fun, and honestly great for costuming.
***** What I would give to do a character with normal hair while mine's still this color. Just stop to readjust a black or brown wig, and bam. Blue underneath.
... do you? in the video he. clearly stated that a frog or snake would turn blue when it died because the pigment would go away and leave only the structure to reflect light. thus resulting in them being blue
Brutal Honesty There was 1 minute between the part where they mentioned the colors of snakes and frogs, and the end of the video. Do you even have a brain or did you struggle at creating an insult so bad you had to exaggerate how bad my error was. Considering how the topic was on "Blue" one can reasonably see why I mistakenly wrote that instead of green.
***** Yep. Keeping hair dyed nicely is time consuming and expensive. Having a partner who has the skills to do some of the heavy lifting in maintaining it is not only a nice encouragement but is a great 'together' activity.
***** Not sure why, but I too always had a thing for lets say alternative hair colors. I agree with you though I do like the blue....and green..I think watching hentai made it worse lol.
The comment section: 80% people talking about 2Ds blue hair 10% people debating weather water is blue or not 5% completely irelivent 5% something that actualy has to do with the subject
This is freaking me out. My printer died yesterday. I go to browse the net. The first ad is for a printer. I go on FB, again an ad for a printer. I go on youtube and again the video they recommend is about printing. The ad during the video was of a printer. THe next video I watched is this one. Why our hair is blue? Guess what I got? Another fucking printer ad.

Frederico Augusto Our eye colour is a polygenetic feature with at least 15 genes expressing themselves in various ways to determine our specific eye colour and the unique pattern of our irises. The substance which gives your eyes colour is a pigment called melanin, which can either be brown or clear. People with brown eyes produce brown melanin, the darker their eyes the more melanin they have. People with blue eyes have a genetic mutation which makes them produce clear melanin instead and their eyes reflect back blue light structurally - actually the reason why people with blue eyes eye's look blue is the same reason the sky looks blue. People with green, hazel or grey eyes have a mix of features.
Frederico Augusto They actually just came out with a laser that turns brown eyes blue in a very short period of time, it'll be on the market when FDA approves it - this only works on brown eyes because underneath brown eyes are blue eyes, the only thing standing in the way of that is melanin and this laser zaps away the melanin to reveal the blue that is already there.
Frederico Augusto Yes this is different, the one you're talking about isn't laser its where they surgically inject someones eyes with a foreign object to make it blue. This laser that I'm speaking about is said to have no negative affects on vision based on the clinical trials.
E SC You don't tell me what to do i'm going to google it anyway. (10 seconds later.) HOLY FUCK OH MY GOD THAT DISGUSTING I DON'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE!!!!! (cries in the bathtub for 5 hours.)
Good question! I had to look that up myself. From Wikipedia, "There is no blue pigmentation either in the iris or in the ocular fluid. Dissection reveals that the iris pigment epithelium is brownish black due to the presence of melanin." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color#Blue There's a technical explanation in the article, but the reason some people have blue eyes is the same reason the sky appears blue: it's all about the way that light is scattered inside the eye. Guess I've had brown eyes all my life and didn't even know it.
I hope you understand, I'm not sure I find this to be the best wording of the circumstances. Namely regarding blue pigmentation. Saying "Nothing is actually blue, they just reflect blue light" does little for the case. Yes, you're right about butterflies and many birds having feathers that reflect blue light with microscopic "light-tricks" via prisms. That can be deciphered simply be seeing the same individual from different angles. However, regarding things like the feathers of a macaw, or the skin of some frogs or snake, the matter itself does indeed reflect blue light, even if the pigment isn't necessarily created in the same way as red or yellow. Saying "Nothing is actually blue, they just reflect blue light" does little for the case. The very nature of the physics of what's happening when we see color from/of a given object is that we are identifying (to the best of our eyes' and minds' abilities) the color that bounces off of it most. You might as well say that a pupil isn't actually black, nor the iris surrounding it brown or green; or, that a Cardinal's feathers are not actually red. Or, that any object is not actually the color we call it. Instead of saying that nothing in nature is actually blue, I for one think it might be more accurate to say that actual blue pigment is more difficult to create in nature than blue is, and/or that the biomechanics of blue organic matter must operate differently than that of organic matter which reflects colors like red, brown, or yellow.
That and the fact that color is just a filter depending on what cones your eyes have. Us people having red, blue, and green cones, while a dog would have two cones, and a mantis shrimp has 16, 13 of which we can't see. Depending on what filters(cones) we have, we can see color in a different way than other creatures. That just tells me that colors are just an illusion to begin with. AKA, colors are just bullshit to begin with.
What's interesting is that there are two ways to have blue hair naturally (as in, it grows blue without a need for dye). Either you have blue-black hair, which looks black in low light and dark blue in bright light, or you work with cobalt or copper. The copper and cobalt bind with the hair follicle and hair shaft, then oxidize. Washing or cutting the hair doesn't do anything to remove the blue color. I guess the cobalt and copper get really deep into the follicle and color the hair before it grows. I have blue-black hair.
I know it's confusing, but I've also seen a documentary on TV that says that blue eyes appear to be blue but actually have no colour pigment which means they also don't have the UV protection that brown eyes have. I explain this to my friends like, "The sea and sky appear blue, but air and water have no colour." Though I think in the case of the sea, it might be because of the green seaweed and the sky reflects this. Not quite sure though (^_^;)
He's right. Hydrogen and Oxygen both absorb red light. They also give off red light when burnt (or colours close to the red end of the spectrum). You never see water in a colourless environment, it's always in your sink, in a bath, in a bottle etc. Therefore, water reflects blue-end light and will appear blue when seen in a truly colourless environment. It is, in fact, impossible for anything to be colourless. The sky appears blue because blue-light gets reflected by moisture (water) in the atmosphere and blue light has a difficult time reaching the ground - it's bouncing away up in the sky all day.
Crustaceans actually don't have blue pigments, they use copper instead of iron in their bloodstream (making it blue/green instead of red), and have basically transparent exoskeletons.
Instead of a simple explanation of why our hair isn't blue, you decide to go with a unnecessarily lengthy and spectaculative theory of how hard it is for nature to produce blue. Got to justify making a video about it I guess.
Aren't all colors somewhat structural? I mean a red pigment has no red color all by itself. It just absorbs blue and green and reflects red into our eye. I guess the english word structural color refers to interference color? (The German term for it)
Actually the color emitted by a substance is usually intrinsic; it absorbs light and reflects it due to quantum chemical reasons. The structure of butterfly wings I think scatters the light in a mechanical like way such that only blue light seen. However, this is only a speculation, don't take my word seriously.
All the "color" works like that, it recieves red yellow and blue light absorbs certain and reflects the rest, the difference is that in estructural color the substance by it self doesnt absorb the color, but the "shape" of the estructure (of the molecules, i guess), for example water isn't blue, but in large cuantyties it looks blue, and the more there is the deeper the blue appears
KerbalEssences cool I wonder about that too. I speak spanish as a birth language and in spanish its called pigment color for structural and light color for non structural for some reason.
Probably would make dying my hair a lot easier LOL...although if we all had blue hair then I'd probably want to dye it brown, blonde, red etc. because it's different.
Actually that is also a form of structural colorization. Collodial Silver, like many heavy metals, doesn't pass through the body. Unlike lead that usually gets stored in the bones, silver gets stored in the skin and much like the ceratin in the birds, reflects colors other than blue at just the right angles to form the blue coloration.
+DKG Racoma liquid silver ? ..is also called quick silver, otherwise known as Mercury. Unless it was molten silver, and that would kill from heat, or it is an alloy or amalgam of rare liquid metals, that are likely toxic or leathal to drink.
Yes, you have to bleach it first and then add in the blue color. However, if you do bleach your hair, be prepared for some very dried, damaged hair that'll take about a week to repair.
I believe his hair was brown, he dyed it blue but it made it looked black. If you have dark hair, you have to bleach it first or it's not going to accept the color. Bleaching turns the hair bleach blond do it takes the whatever color a lot easier. However, the downside is it'll turn your hair brittle and dry for about a week until it repairs itself or you repair it with selected shampoo and conditioner.
Have you ever tried coloring blue on brown paper? It comes out blackish blue. If you want blue you need to start with white. So yes. Bleach if you want actually blue hair. I'd recommend you go to a stylist so you don't destroy your hair since you're obviously new at this.
Whats different about eyes then? How and why are my eyes blue? (I know genetics, sure) But if blue is so difficult for nature, how did blue eyes become a thing? I genuinely would like to know (:
Given the mountains of evidence for evolution, it is safe to say it is known that evolution happened. As safe as it is for me to "know" that the tree outside my window grew from a seed. I wasn't there to directly observe it's birth from the seed, and even though I don't completely understand how the tree grew from that seed. Through experimentation, logic, evidence etc. I conclude that the tree did indeed grow from a seed.
nice analogy but I'd be careful with it. We have a lot more evidence that trees grow from seeds then we do evolution due the timescales involved. In the case of the seed we can grow other seeds and see them germinate and see other trees in variation states of "evolution" toward the big tree state. In the case of evolution the only things we can observe are the small variances that happen over 100 years or so. Which is mainly just species variation, not actual genetic changes but just changes in response to environment, a flexibility that is actually built into every living creature and not really evidence. What we do have is the fossil record and we have viral and bacterial studies which show some minor mutational evolution over time. So yes, evidence, but it's not quite like a tree. Not without time travel to go and verify the process and the stages. :)
danaphanous Fair enough. I guess my analogy was a little exaggerated. But my main point is that we can be knowledgable about a subject without having to directly observe it.
I met a girl who was born with light blue hair once tho, she was the daughter of my mom's best friend, and she had light blue hair, the doctors didn't have an explanation for it, so said it was mostly likely a mutation, and she also had something called poliosis (when a patch of your hair is white) she looked like an anime character, it was definitely something lol. I talked to her till she was about 5 her hair was light blue the whole 5 years i saw her (we stopped talking because my family moved out) But she was surely interesting, i bet that she is the populat kid now lol I wish i had an interesting hair color.. mine is just brown 💀
Can you actually show the picture and actually post it online because this is the rarest hair colour just like blue eyes. Like this can be posted on Tiktok.
I used to want to dye my hair blue when I was younger. But my mother wouldn't let me. Yeah. Like having muddy brown hair is great...😧 Doesn't exactly stand out.
My mom wanted to dye her hair blue once. She asked me what my opinion on that was, and I told her it would look ridiculous, and that she should try a more darker color. She then got mad at me. Honestly, I don't even see what was the point of asking my opinion in the first place.
Poisonous Kitty Don't worry, I was just messing with him xD I bleached my hair after a few months of the purple and it turned my brown roots platinum and my lightened purple ended up neon pink. Looks kind of cool actually.
I have this video to thank for a majority of the best things in my life. Through looking at the comments section in this video, I kept seeing people talk about “2D from Gorillaz”. I didn’t know what that was, so I looked it up, found out Gorillaz was a band, and checked out their music. I fell in love with what I found, and to this day, Gorillaz is still easily my number one favorite artist. Through Gorillaz I was introduced to many other artists, such as Daley and Little Simz, as Gorillaz frequently collaborates with other artists. But that’s not it, through Gorillaz, i found my best friend. That’s right, if I hadn’t found out about Gorillaz, I wouldn’t know the most important person to me in my life. This person has been with me through so many hard times, times where I wanted to give up everything, this person has made me laugh, has made me cry, has made me learn. I have so much to thank this person for, I l love her so much, and finding her all leads back to this video
Bonus information (M.Sc.): The "eye" as a photosensible organ is older than you describe in the video. But you're not wrong, since it was more like a detector if there was or wasnt light, just to avoid or seek for it (depending on the organism). Good video!
If it's structural blue, it's still blue to our eyes, so why say it doesn't exist in this case? Why does it matter so much how it's working, if the result is the same ? Is pigment-blue better in any way? Is it possible for the human eye to differentiate between the two? Also, btw, which blue mechanism work on blue eyes?
Blue eyes are structurally blue, there is no pigment making them blue. Eye color is complicated so someone else can probably answer better than can I, but blue eyes appear blue because of light scattering and not from any pigment like melanin. Yeah, I don't get why they made it seem like blue is rare in nature when really it's just blue pigment that is rare in nature (and anyone who is into textiles or hair knows this; blues-purples-greens are harder to make vibrant and long lasting than reds-yellows oranges; that's why blue hair will fade quicker than most of the other colors that will "hold"). Still doesn't really answer why we can't evolve blue hair if birds can evolve blue feathers and we already evolved structurally blue eyes. I bet it just boils down to there is no impetus for this massive change; most humans have darkly pigmented hair, and we already selected for lighter colors in some populations but they are still rare. Going the next step to non-pigmented white hair that appears blue due to scattering would probably be a step too far since it has nothing to do with survival.
yea and blue eyes is actually grey not blue but as the sky it only reflet certain light so it appears blue as what above comment has mentioned it's a structure blue
I actually grew blue hair. I have friends who have seen them. I only had three hair strains though. I always thought it was weird and they were blue all the way to the roots.
+ Griffin O'Connor Wouldn't trust Keira here, she seems to be lacking in knowledge of the subject. Similarly to water and the sky, the eye is neither structural, nor made blue through a pigment, such as melanin. Its just the way light scatters through in the iris. +Kiera Churchill get an education
Until I saw this video I had never wondered about why there are “ natural hair colours” ( blonde, brown, red, ect.) and “ unnatural hair colours” ( pink, purple, blue, ect.) but when I saw the title it got me thinking, so here I am!
If there is ever a child born with blue hair, that is a sign that anime is real and that they're a protagonist.
lol, just like 99 percent of anime characters.

Blueberries are actually purple.
Hmmmm... Really? Just wondering.
I noticed that; when I eat a bunch of blueberries it makes my tongue - and my lips, and my fingertips - purple.
where i live they are a definite light blue.
Blueberries LOOK blue due to the layer of wax coating the fruit skin, giving them that characteristic dusty look. That diffuses the light bouncing back off a deep purple coloured fruit, making it look blue, but it's actually more purple.

So then could there be a way to chemically alter the structures of out hair so that it would appear blue?
If I'm interpreting the video correctly, we would need a physical change on each individual hair strand so that only the blue wavelength is reflected.

+zsofi's world wot do you mean

... do you? in the video he. clearly stated that a frog or snake would turn blue when it died because the pigment would go away and leave only the structure to reflect light. thus resulting in them being blue
Brutal Honesty There was 1 minute between the part where they mentioned the colors of snakes and frogs, and the end of the video. Do you even have a brain or did you struggle at creating an insult so bad you had to exaggerate how bad my error was. Considering how the topic was on "Blue" one can reasonably see why I mistakenly wrote that instead of green.
Welp, there goes me plan to get a bluenette girlfriend... I watch too much anime...
***** Well, put the time into learning to dye someone's hair well and that alone can help catch the eye of someone who likes their hair blue.
neeneko Talking from experience?
***** Yep. Keeping hair dyed nicely is time consuming and expensive. Having a partner who has the skills to do some of the heavy lifting in maintaining it is not only a nice encouragement but is a great 'together' activity.
neeneko
I should give it a try, but you have to keep in mind that I'm 16
***** Not sure why, but I too always had a thing for lets say alternative hair colors. I agree with you though I do like the blue....and green..I think watching hentai made it worse lol.
The comment section:
80% people talking about 2Ds blue hair
10% people debating weather water is blue or not
5% completely irelivent
5% something that actualy has to do with the subject
Water is actually blue though

Water isn't blue, its the skys reflection
This is freaking me out. My printer died yesterday. I go to browse the net. The first ad is for a printer. I go on FB, again an ad for a printer. I go on youtube and again the video they recommend is about printing. The ad during the video was of a printer. THe next video I watched is this one. Why our hair is blue? Guess what I got? Another fucking printer ad.
did you search anything related to printers beforehand? like whike you were dealing with your orinter, did you look for fixes???
+Yiṣḥāq David If you searched up something about printers then you'd get that. I watch a lot of RoosterTeeth and RWBY so I constantly get ads for RWBY merch.

What about blue eyes?
That's structural too
Frederico Augusto Our eye colour is a polygenetic feature with at least 15 genes expressing themselves in various ways to determine our specific eye colour and the unique pattern of our irises.
The substance which gives your eyes colour is a pigment called melanin, which can either be brown or clear. People with brown eyes produce brown melanin, the darker their eyes the more melanin they have. People with blue eyes have a genetic mutation which makes them produce clear melanin instead and their eyes reflect back blue light structurally - actually the reason why people with blue eyes eye's look blue is the same reason the sky looks blue.
People with green, hazel or grey eyes have a mix of features.
Frederico Augusto They actually just came out with a laser that turns brown eyes blue in a very short period of time, it'll be on the market when FDA approves it - this only works on brown eyes because underneath brown eyes are blue eyes, the only thing standing in the way of that is melanin and this laser zaps away the melanin to reveal the blue that is already there.
I've seen about a surgery that makes brown eyes blue, but frequently leaves the patient blind. Is this a different one?
Frederico Augusto Yes this is different, the one you're talking about isn't laser its where they surgically inject someones eyes with a foreign object to make it blue. This laser that I'm speaking about is said to have no negative affects on vision based on the clinical trials.

Do blue eyes in humans work this same way? Or is there a different mechanism behind this?
Good question! I had to look that up myself.
From Wikipedia, "There is no blue pigmentation either in the iris or in the ocular fluid. Dissection reveals that the iris pigment epithelium is brownish black due to the presence of melanin."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color#Blue
There's a technical explanation in the article, but the reason some people have blue eyes is the same reason the sky appears blue: it's all about the way that light is scattered inside the eye.
Guess I've had brown eyes all my life and didn't even know it.
Interesting! Thanks!
No. That is melanin at work not a secret blue pigment
Actually, lack of melanin
Lack of melanin and Rayleigh scattering (just like the sky).
What about the Na'avi?
mdr48371 they're fictional...

I hope you understand, I'm not sure I find this to be the best wording of the circumstances. Namely regarding blue pigmentation. Saying "Nothing is actually blue, they just reflect blue light" does little for the case.
Yes, you're right about butterflies and many birds having feathers that reflect blue light with microscopic "light-tricks" via prisms. That can be deciphered simply be seeing the same individual from different angles. However, regarding things like the feathers of a macaw, or the skin of some frogs or snake, the matter itself does indeed reflect blue light, even if the pigment isn't necessarily created in the same way as red or yellow.
Saying "Nothing is actually blue, they just reflect blue light" does little for the case. The very nature of the physics of what's happening when we see color from/of a given object is that we are identifying (to the best of our eyes' and minds' abilities) the color that bounces off of it most. You might as well say that a pupil isn't actually black, nor the iris surrounding it brown or green; or, that a Cardinal's feathers are not actually red. Or, that any object is not actually the color we call it.
Instead of saying that nothing in nature is actually blue, I for one think it might be more accurate to say that actual blue pigment is more difficult to create in nature than blue is, and/or that the biomechanics of blue organic matter must operate differently than that of organic matter which reflects colors like red, brown, or yellow.
That and the fact that color is just a filter depending on what cones your eyes have. Us people having red, blue, and green cones, while a dog would have two cones, and a mantis shrimp has 16, 13 of which we can't see. Depending on what filters(cones) we have, we can see color in a different way than other creatures. That just tells me that colors are just an illusion to begin with. AKA, colors are just bullshit to begin with.
+Brandon Wilkins Also when I said 13 of which we can't see, I didn't necessarily mean the cones themselves, but the colors produced from them.
You must be fun at party's.
+Ella Pugs *cough*
+Brandon Wilkins what?
NATURE: "It would be so cool to give Humans Blue hair... Ah fuck it, it's too hard... Brown it is then."
your hair isn't naturally blue coz its reality not anime
Fortunately.
ye it is
it's just 'cause we ain't the MC
What's interesting is that there are two ways to have blue hair naturally (as in, it grows blue without a need for dye).
Either you have blue-black hair, which looks black in low light and dark blue in bright light, or you work with cobalt or copper. The copper and cobalt bind with the hair follicle and hair shaft, then oxidize. Washing or cutting the hair doesn't do anything to remove the blue color. I guess the cobalt and copper get really deep into the follicle and color the hair before it grows.
I have blue-black hair.
What if we created a formula to get structural color into our hair? Then we could have permanent green or red hair
Um, many people have red hair...
+Kevin Crossland i think he meant the hardcore red, not orange red
sounds a great idea 😆
+Nimity Tei yeah i have always wondering why they call it red
Simmekakibackup2 Koujo i know right, its just not red for me
This doesn't explain why eyes with low melanin are blue.
Yes it does. He described the Tyndall effect, which is what makes vertebrates have blue anything.
I know it's confusing, but I've also seen a documentary on TV that says that blue eyes appear to be blue but actually have no colour pigment which means they also don't have the UV protection that brown eyes have.
I explain this to my friends like, "The sea and sky appear blue, but air and water have no colour."
Though I think in the case of the sea, it might be because of the green seaweed and the sky reflects this. Not quite sure though (^_^;)
+sakuramari the sea in the uk is grey-brown, and we get like half an hour of sun per year, so yeah i think it's definitely the sky
狂犬 OK, thanks :)
so... if we ear the same algae that the flamingoes eat -we can turn pink????
if that's how it works then I want to know what peacocks are eating!!
Did you ever see the HOUSE MD episode where the guy turned orange? He ate too many carrots and tomatoes or something.
Perhaps. You can induce carotenosis by eating a large quantity of carrots over time and turn orange.
same thing works with silver apparently. you start turning blue lol
Im pink
Water IS blue. Very slightly, very light blue, but it IS blue.
THANK YOU!
no, water is blue. it absorbs the lower frequency red end light. it looks clear in small quantities but on the scale of an ocean, the blue dominates.
***** look it up dude
He's right. Hydrogen and Oxygen both absorb red light. They also give off red light when burnt (or colours close to the red end of the spectrum). You never see water in a colourless environment, it's always in your sink, in a bath, in a bottle etc. Therefore, water reflects blue-end light and will appear blue when seen in a truly colourless environment. It is, in fact, impossible for anything to be colourless.
The sky appears blue because blue-light gets reflected by moisture (water) in the atmosphere and blue light has a difficult time reaching the ground - it's bouncing away up in the sky all day.
Neil Taylor gggff
Crustaceans actually don't have blue pigments, they use copper instead of iron in their bloodstream (making it blue/green instead of red), and have basically transparent exoskeletons.
***** I'm just talking about crustaceans...
Screw blue hair. I want iridescent hair that shifts color based on the ambient humidity and intensity of light.
That would be cool
+Mike Trieu (MegasChara) I was thinking the same
Instead of a simple explanation of why our hair isn't blue, you decide to go with a unnecessarily lengthy and spectaculative theory of how hard it is for nature to produce blue.
Got to justify making a video about it I guess.
I found this pretty interesting and who would watch a video that just contains 1-2 sentences about the topic? You don't have to watch it.
I'm blue daba de daba di
this is the best username you have ever seen
I was about to say that!!!
Aren't all colors somewhat structural? I mean a red pigment has no red color all by itself. It just absorbs blue and green and reflects red into our eye. I guess the english word structural color refers to interference color? (The German term for it)
KerbalEssences Why are Kerbals green? :P I love KSP
Actually the color emitted by a substance is usually intrinsic; it absorbs light and reflects it due to quantum chemical reasons. The structure of butterfly wings I think scatters the light in a mechanical like way such that only blue light seen. However, this is only a speculation, don't take my word seriously.
All the "color" works like that, it recieves red yellow and blue light absorbs certain and reflects the rest, the difference is that in estructural color the substance by it self doesnt absorb the color, but the "shape" of the estructure (of the molecules, i guess), for example water isn't blue, but in large cuantyties it looks blue, and the more there is the deeper the blue appears
KerbalEssences cool I wonder about that too. I speak spanish as a birth language and in spanish its called pigment color for structural and light color for non structural for some reason.
luis h You might wanna do more research and also touch up on your English.
Just a suggestion.
Well, 2-D from Gorillaz has blue hair naturally...

What about that guy who drinks mercury or something like that and looks like a smurf?
It was silver. Colloidal Silver.
Actually that is also a form of structural colorization. Collodial Silver, like many heavy metals, doesn't pass through the body. Unlike lead that usually gets stored in the bones, silver gets stored in the skin and much like the ceratin in the birds, reflects colors other than blue at just the right angles to form the blue coloration.
maybe thats why gargamel is trying to eat smurfs.....
he wants to cosplay but he cant afford blue hair dye
Compared to mercury bleach is an orange juice fam
+DKG Racoma liquid silver ? ..is also called quick silver, otherwise known as Mercury.
Unless it was molten silver, and that would kill from heat, or it is an alloy or amalgam of rare liquid metals, that are likely toxic or leathal to drink.
I was so befuddled by this question, I actually got click-baited. God damn it...
I tried to dye my hair blue once, but it just made it look black instead of brown. Idk if I was supposed to bleach it first, or what.
Yes, you have to bleach it first and then add in the blue color. However, if you do bleach your hair, be prepared for some very dried, damaged hair that'll take about a week to repair.
I believe his hair was brown, he dyed it blue but it made it looked black. If you have dark hair, you have to bleach it first or it's not going to accept the color. Bleaching turns the hair bleach blond do it takes the whatever color a lot easier. However, the downside is it'll turn your hair brittle and dry for about a week until it repairs itself or you repair it with selected shampoo and conditioner.
actually it depends on the hairs ability to take and hold color
Have you ever tried coloring blue on brown paper? It comes out blackish blue. If you want blue you need to start with white. So yes. Bleach if you want actually blue hair. I'd recommend you go to a stylist so you don't destroy your hair since you're obviously new at this.
+starchy abyss blonde would work white will kill your hair
Whats different about eyes then? How and why are my eyes blue? (I know genetics, sure) But if blue is so difficult for nature, how did blue eyes become a thing? I genuinely would like to know (:
Apparently the same way as those birds
(Fuck birds I WANT BLUE HAIR!)
same reason why the ocean an sky blue. blue eyes means no color in your iris because of that it reflects light that looks blue
If people had natural Blue hair nothing would be all that different. There would be people who wanted it, and people who had it but didn't want it.
damn hey there matt
Bltch Erica Out of all the videos you could have found me on it had to be this one lol.
yea lol
ur very right tough
Is your profile pic some sort of meme? because i have seen it so often
You're right. It's not a color found in nature; it's a hair dye that's highly common in feminism.
Trace your shirt is dope. Where can I get it bruh?
love the way he talks about evolution like he knows its the way life has evolved.
Given the mountains of evidence for evolution, it is safe to say it is known that evolution happened. As safe as it is for me to "know" that the tree outside my window grew from a seed. I wasn't there to directly observe it's birth from the seed, and even though I don't completely understand how the tree grew from that seed. Through experimentation, logic, evidence etc. I conclude that the tree did indeed grow from a seed.
nice analogy but I'd be careful with it. We have a lot more evidence that trees grow from seeds then we do evolution due the timescales involved. In the case of the seed we can grow other seeds and see them germinate and see other trees in variation states of "evolution" toward the big tree state. In the case of evolution the only things we can observe are the small variances that happen over 100 years or so. Which is mainly just species variation, not actual genetic changes but just changes in response to environment, a flexibility that is actually built into every living creature and not really evidence.
What we do have is the fossil record and we have viral and bacterial studies which show some minor mutational evolution over time. So yes, evidence, but it's not quite like a tree. Not without time travel to go and verify the process and the stages. :)
danaphanous Fair enough. I guess my analogy was a little exaggerated. But my main point is that we can be knowledgable about a subject without having to directly observe it.
there is only one person who has blue hair and his name is 2D from gorillaz
I met a girl who was born with light blue hair once tho, she was the daughter of my mom's best friend, and she had light blue hair, the doctors didn't have an explanation for it, so said it was mostly likely a mutation, and she also had something called poliosis (when a patch of your hair is white) she looked like an anime character, it was definitely something lol. I talked to her till she was about 5 her hair was light blue the whole 5 years i saw her (we stopped talking because my family moved out)
But she was surely interesting, i bet that she is the populat kid now lol
I wish i had an interesting hair color.. mine is just brown 💀
She's an anime protagonist trust me.
Can you actually show the picture and actually post it online because this is the rarest hair colour just like blue eyes. Like this can be posted on Tiktok.
I had green hair in middle school. That's it for my wild hair colors.
I used to want to dye my hair blue when I was younger. But my mother wouldn't let me. Yeah. Like having muddy brown hair is great...😧 Doesn't exactly stand out.
Yup same with me
Karuminu2 brown hair are only about 11% of the world population. You should consider yourself lucky
Same
I had pink blue purple and blonde and brown hair!!! And I’m only 13. And they were all at different times.
My mom wanted to dye her hair blue once. She asked me what my opinion on that was, and I told her it would look ridiculous, and that she should try a more darker color. She then got mad at me. Honestly, I don't even see what was the point of asking my opinion in the first place.
You can have you're hair blue you just have to get into 2 car crashes make it spiky and join a band
Who gets that reference?
lol me
some guy I've seen 2 references so far. Lmao. I'm searching!

I've been blue since pink died
My hair is currently blonde and pink xD Started with purple... This is how it ended up, apparently.
I think those chemicals started sinking in your head.
JOhn Doe Probably :'3
EmmyLeeAnne dye isn't suppose to go on/in your scalp o.o
Poisonous Kitty Don't worry, I was just messing with him xD
I bleached my hair after a few months of the purple and it turned my brown roots platinum and my lightened purple ended up neon pink. Looks kind of cool actually.
😐
I have this video to thank for a majority of the best things in my life. Through looking at the comments section in this video, I kept seeing people talk about “2D from Gorillaz”. I didn’t know what that was, so I looked it up, found out Gorillaz was a band, and checked out their music. I fell in love with what I found, and to this day, Gorillaz is still easily my number one favorite artist. Through Gorillaz I was introduced to many other artists, such as Daley and Little Simz, as Gorillaz frequently collaborates with other artists. But that’s not it, through Gorillaz, i found my best friend. That’s right, if I hadn’t found out about Gorillaz, I wouldn’t know the most important person to me in my life. This person has been with me through so many hard times, times where I wanted to give up everything, this person has made me laugh, has made me cry, has made me learn. I have so much to thank this person for, I l love her so much, and finding her all leads back to this video
2D is one lucky boy
Is it weird that i'm watching this after listening to 2D from Gorillaz
Bonus information (M.Sc.): The "eye" as a photosensible organ is older than you describe in the video. But you're not wrong, since it was more like a detector if there was or wasnt light, just to avoid or seek for it (depending on the organism). Good video!
Okay then, why do some people have blue green eyes?
Rob Hill i have cyan eyes which is basically the same thing
Tyndall effect mixed with melanin
If it's structural blue, it's still blue to our eyes, so why say it doesn't exist in this case?
Why does it matter so much how it's working, if the result is the same ? Is pigment-blue better in any way? Is it possible for the human eye to differentiate between the two?
Also, btw, which blue mechanism work on blue eyes?
Blue eyes are structurally blue, there is no pigment making them blue. Eye color is complicated so someone else can probably answer better than can I, but blue eyes appear blue because of light scattering and not from any pigment like melanin.
Yeah, I don't get why they made it seem like blue is rare in nature when really it's just blue pigment that is rare in nature (and anyone who is into textiles or hair knows this; blues-purples-greens are harder to make vibrant and long lasting than reds-yellows oranges; that's why blue hair will fade quicker than most of the other colors that will "hold"). Still doesn't really answer why we can't evolve blue hair if birds can evolve blue feathers and we already evolved structurally blue eyes. I bet it just boils down to there is no impetus for this massive change; most humans have darkly pigmented hair, and we already selected for lighter colors in some populations but they are still rare. Going the next step to non-pigmented white hair that appears blue due to scattering would probably be a step too far since it has nothing to do with survival.
you like magic shows don't you? lol
Yes, but why do you ask it? Because I consider both blue mechanisms as "blue" , like magic?
yea and blue eyes is actually grey not blue but as the sky it only reflet certain light so it appears blue as what above comment has mentioned it's a structure blue
then whats up with green cats ?
I actually grew blue hair. I have friends who have seen them. I only had three hair strains though. I always thought it was weird and they were blue all the way to the roots.
Can you tell med professional about it?
But I have blue eyes...
its a lack of melanin like all brown eyes are "blue" if you take away the melanin its more of a deformity that ended up getting somewhat popular
You're a mutant. You're a fucking X-Man, mate.
green eyes are even rarer than blue (I also have green eyes)
what about colour changing eyes? Mine change between blue, green, and grey.
but I have brown eyes....
Then are blue eyes in humans structural color?
Yes.
no because if you have blue eyes you have no eye color it the same principle as why the ocean and sky blue
+Keira Churchill no
Andrew Bartholomew the answer is "yes" because it's structural rather than pigmented.
+ Griffin O'Connor Wouldn't trust Keira here, she seems to be lacking in knowledge of the subject. Similarly to water and the sky, the eye is neither structural, nor made blue through a pigment, such as melanin. Its just the way light scatters through in the iris.
+Kiera Churchill get an education
Isn't purple more rare in nature than blue?
Lintlikr1 violets just came to mind so i dnt think so
top gunnah name one other thing

Until I saw this video I had never wondered about why there are “ natural hair colours” ( blonde, brown, red, ect.) and “ unnatural hair colours” ( pink, purple, blue, ect.) but when I saw the title it got me thinking, so here I am!
Can we mutate our genes somehow so that we could have more coloured hair naturally?
Adolf chan How so?
