Some animals might appear blue, but they are deceiving you. What are your thoughts on this trick of the eye?
Should we trust blue blood animals??
What about blue eyes
We can't say anything... But we can imagine.... I 🤔 that one of the species of animals on 🌍 definitely have UV 👀 ....I'm 🤔 about there Retina Display.... 🙄
This is why I love photography/film making and nature. I really love lighting and the science of light. Thank you for sharing this.
Eyes hypnotized us .. 😵😵
Will Smith is Blue.
Lmfaooooo
In Aladdin ?
He's black
Your eyes are deceiving you
Lol
No, he only appears to be blue!
CGI is "essentially" playing with the physics of light... electromagnetism. So, no he isn't a true blue.
This comment is heavily underrated!
Great one buddy haha
'they appear blue'
yeah when something appears to be blue, we call that: 'blue'
lmao
Lol
Was looking for this
The sun appears to rise & fall but in fact we circle around it. There’s a big difference between what truely is & what appears to be the case. If you can see the value in knowledge. Leave it to those whom do.
Pretty. However, they used a logical fallacy. It is not the the animal that is blue, it is the light. The only reason the “true blues” can’t change collor is because the pigment is contained within the cells, thus we are unable to dilute or do anything to change it. Still, the pigment reflects blue, like, well, anything that we see as blue. Not the thing, just the light.
So in short: the Smurfs have been tricking us since 1958.
They were originally green, but it would be harder to distinguish them because of the grass, so the creator changed their color to blue.
Wait smurfs aren't real

“No blue foods”
I guess blueberrys are orange then
When you cut them, they’re not blue inside... only outside
I think of blueberries as more of an indigo
they're blue cuz they are called blue berry. dats the logic of my stupid brain.
Blueberry pie and muffins tend to be purple not blue.
Who knows maybe it’s just a very rich purple that looks blue well there’s probably a reasoning
So, animals cannot be blue except for the ones that are blue.
pretty much
I’ve seen many stupid and/or confusing things, but this among the top ones
No, it is not blue. The butterflys wing appears blue because it filters out all the other colours from ambient light. The wing itself has no blue colour (in the sense that "normal" blue color stems from another physical principle). The video made a poor job explaining the fundamental different physical phenomena though...
666qwertz then right after that it shows a different butterfly that actually has blue pigment. And also the blue dart frog. So it kind of contradicts itself
That logic only works if you agree that if I tape a blue filter to your face, everything is blue. Most of us would disagree.
People:
People: I saw a blue butterfl-
NatGEO: well yes but actually no

Inner me: Definitely not your channel.
OOOOOOHH
Not even funny
Lol
How? Do you not wanna believe the facts they just gave or something or am I missing something here lmao
No they are facts but also color is subjective for people so it's hard to decipher what is reality and your mind. I mean what you see is the truth. It is your truth. But reality is different. You could make the argument that when you see blue that thing is blue. You can also make the argument that blue is just reflected back into your eyes. See why its confusing to some people?
Blue light is produced when blue wavelength of light is reflected, right? Regardless if there is blue pigment or not, as long as something reflects blue light, then it is blue.
The light you're receiving is blue yes, but one reflects blue but the rest filter.
An example would be a glass prism. A glass prism refracts light and causes a rainbow spectrum to be reflected as a result. In our eyes, the glass prism appears rainbow in colour, but in reality, the glass prism itself has no colour and is clear. So the same applies. Yes, blue is reflected off the butterfly's wings into the eyes so we precieved it as blue, but the wings itself is may not be blue in colour . Hence "fake blue"
@@Termerpores But couldn't the same apply to Red or Green? Some jackets are made the same way, they just reflect light to show red or green, but we don't call those "fake" red or green.
@@Termerpores u cant use glass and compare it to animals bro
@@oscard.lisboa6105 that is why it is called an "example". It does not have to be glass to produce this effect you potato. The prism example is to make it easier to understand the concept of diffraction, not to say the wings are made of glass

Pigment or not, if it looks blue, its blue. If blue light is reflected from an object, that object is blue. That's quite literally the definition of color.
Obviously they're talking about blue pigment. Yeah, it's blue in APPEARANCE, but it IS not blue.
@@devangel990 Nothing IS blue. Nothing IS any color. Color is determined 100% by the wavelengths an object reflects. BUT...since that's the case for everything in existence, we just simplify things and say that if something looks a color, then it IS that color.
FishAntsPlantsAndDave These fartknockers just needed an excuse to talk about science.
They could have made a quality video about the electromagnetic spectrum and how light interacts with the eye.
Instead they decided fabricate a conspiracy and challenge your ability to use common sense. Classic Click-bait BS
Fine, my term and usage of IS was wrong, but the video is still obviously talking about pigment, and this is a pointless argument.
@@jayce7646 true
This feels the same as saying, "people don't actually think for themselves because your brain runs on auto pilot for 80% of the time." The only way we can see blue IS because of the light reflecting off of whatever, so then it IS blue regardless of the process of making it blue. So that statement about the sea and the sky seem redundant. Creatures like that butterfly are very interesting in the way they create it, but the result still stays the same, blue butterfly. I'm sorry the title just bothers me because they even mentioned two animals that are naturally pigmented blue, no tricks.
You're right
Which two animals have naturally pigmented blue?
Sure. The correct angle would be describing the blue surface in contact with the air/ water vs. the surface of the pigment particles slightly below the surface of the body, also appearing blue - and the physics of the light scattering and reflection producing the same image in our brain regardless of the two types of sources. Nothing about the light reflection off the pigment is mentioned, let along the mechanism how the brain distinguishes the wavelengths. "Deception" is not an appropriate word, just different mechanisms are at play.

Whales aren’t animals
I was searching the comment with blue whale. I was not disappointed.
How is this different from the Way Pigments absorb a percentage of the wavelengths to form a color? I mean what makes directional reflection vs Absorption real or fake? Isn't the end result the same? 500mn photons hitting your retina?
thePoxxxx yes that’s the real conceit of this video
exactly!
Exactly, it is just a bunch of pretentious scientists.
it's too deep
I was wondering the same. I guess the clear blue pigment is rare is what they meant. But that don't really disregards the workaround animals found.
I would like to know more about why the pigment is so rare. Are blue eyes in humans are "actually blue"?
im looking at my blue parrot and questioning everything
"Blue butterflies only Reflect blue light! Not actually blue"
"Yeah so thts how color works"
The actual pigment for blue color lacks there I guess...
@@kiruthikabalasubramani8874 hmmm yeah i guess so
Just like the ocean , it appears blue but it's really not . Because we all know water is not blue but the way lights are reflected to our eyes makes it look like blue , hence a fake blue .
@@meepotello626 the ocean actually is blue, if you go to the really deep depths, the only wavelength that can penetrate it is blue :D
@@rebeccatom2188 nope it's not.. whatever you're trying to say it's not . Infact light gets filtered out and makes the ocean appear blue doesn't make it blue cause water is not blue
Animals: we still appear blue!
Cyanobacteria: hold my phycocyanin
But using pigments also changes the way light waves are reflected or absorbed. I get why it's amazing that blue pigments are rare, but in the end of the day, every perceived color is a "trick" of the physical properties of light. Not just blue.
As far as I know plants are only green because green wave lengths are _not_ absorbed by chlorophyll, but almost all other wave lengths. So plants do quite the same as these butterflies by reflecting only the specific color that we can see. They only use a pigment so the effect is steady and doesnt depend on angles.
Understanding the explanation is key. Basically holographic blue. What color is the water is in the
blue part of the rainbow?... Food for thought.
@Rebirth Vessel
That's also not the point OP stated.
The problem of this video is that they STATE that our eyes are being tricked that certain animals are not blue.
Both definitions are wrong.
You could go into a philosophical discussion and state that nothing, living or not, is really of a certain color. Things simply reflect lightwaves and we can see a certain range of them.
A more correct statement would be that Animals don't usually produce blue pigments, but are blue because of their physical structures.
And saying that our eyes are trick is clickbait. At the end of the day we see blue, whether it's reflected by a pigment or by a physical structure.
That's not the same. Plants are green because they absorb all the light but green, and re-emit green photons.
The butterfly does not do this. It changes the color of the light AFTER it was already re-emitted. It's like wearing a color filter over your eyes and saying that everything is that color. This would not be true.
If you were to finely grind a butterfly wing enough to break it's structure, it would not make a blue dust. If you grind a plant, it will still be green.
@@Icewind007
Sure, I know that. That's the difference between pigment and surface structure but either way the composition of light waves is altered which causes the effect of color perception. It doesn't make sense to call one a "trick" and not the other. Color perception is as much depending on the structure of the eye and the neuronal processing in the brain as it is depending on the object itself. The retina already changes its input (highlights contrasts, f.e.) before the brain "sees" anything and the brain only perceives a very small part of reality to begin with.
One could argue the color yellow is more "tricky" than non-pigment-blue since we have no receptor for yellow and only "interpret" a red-green-mixture as yellow.
As another person already stated it is almost a philosophical discussion what makes a "real" color "real" and a "fake" one "fake".
Now we can officially rename blue as Great Royal Blue..
My childhood movie "Rio" fooled me :,(
Those macaws do exist tho

@Lord Bolton well how do you know those colors are actually the ones youve named. what if you think its blue but its actually green but you dont know. two people could point at the color blue and be thinking/seeing different colors and think its blue because thats what theyve been told.

There is no such thing as "true blue" Everything that appears blue, actualy is blue. Nature just found different ways of archieving blue.
The only question is, why blue pegments are so rare compared to the others

You guys obviously havent listened to the video
So basically true blue animals are very rare...
*BUT THEY STILL EXIST.*
But can’t you just say the same about all the other colours? “Green is just the way the light is reflected into your eye”
Diffraction =/= Reflection
They did a bad job in explaining diffraction,
But many animals actually has those green pigment in their cells while the blue pigment is very rare and often what our eyes perceived as blue doesn't have those blue pigment in them but only appears blue to our eyes because of how light was filtered
so the title is wrong, animals can be blue but it's very rare

What about my eyes. I have blue eyes. Are my eyes also tricking others and myself that it appears blue?
Actually, yes. There's no blue pigment in your eyes. Iris color is due to variable amounts of eumelanin (brown/black melanins) and pheomelanin (red/yellow melanins) produced by melanocytes. More of the former is found in brown-eyed people and of the latter in blue and green-eyed people.
@@HenriqueSantosCosta so everyone technically has brown/black eyes

National Geographic : Animals can't be blue!
Animals that are blue : Hold my beer.
Blue is my favorite color,I'm crushed...
National Geographic: Animals cannot be blue
Cayote: Hold my blue Crayfish
Since when is pigment the only true form of color? Blue created by pigment or light is still blue. The color spectrum is created by light wavelengths. Are we now supposed to believe these aren't true colors because there's no pigment? There's no blue in a rainbow? Color created by light is no less real than color created by pigment.
At the end, we only see things through light. Light is much more important than pigments.
color in light is different than color in pigment, both also interact differently among themselves. For example red and green light make yellow light and red and green pigment makes a brown pigment. It's not that something isn't blue because it doesn't contain blue pigments. it's that it isn't truly blue. A black person with albinism is still black, but their skin color isn't truly black because it lacks the pigmentation. You would still refer to that person as black but you would also acknowledge that they don't have pigmented skin. that's pretty much what is going on here. it doesn't really make a difference, but it does raise the question to why blue pigmentation is very uncommon.
Exactly
I think what’s being explained here concerns additive color vs. subtractive color:
In additive color terms, light combines itself and projects a wavelength, such as in electronic displays or using the the rgb (red/green/blue) spectrum. Full-spectrum lighting (daylight) holds all the waveforms to carry all colors. Warm light only projects more golden-carrying waveforms, fluorescent projects more blue-carrying waveforms, etc.. Some materials (such as clear water or atmosphere) dont hold actual pigment, but more strongly refract blue waveforms.
Subtractive color is based around what actual particles a material contains that absorb all wavelengths except for the one it reflects, which we regard as it’s color. An example would be in paint color or printing ink (the CMYK, or cyan/magenta,yellow, blue spectrum) It “subtracts” the waveforms, leaving us with the color impression that is then carried by the additive light source.
Ive been trying to get my head around this for years, and am still wrestling with it. If my explanation is incorrect or if someone has a more clear way of explaining it, please share.
Your own video contradicts your title.
They just wanted to talk about wavelengths 🤷
That's called clickbait. You new to youtube?

“All birds that appear blue have some structure in their feathers that reflects only blue light”
That is how you describe a colour. For example, you look at a green apple. The apple absorbs all light except green, which it reflects into our eyes for us to see. So they are blue because that’s how colour works.
Imagine, if you will, each cell on the surface of the feather to be a series of grates. Devoid of any colour of their own, but capable of diffracting light to display a variety of colours in the similar wavelengths (here, blue).
If this top layer of feathers was chopped up into a fine dust, they may not reflect blue anymore. Why? Because the sole reason it looked blue was because of the specific shape of the cells. Meanwhile if you chopped the blue part of the true blue butterfly, it would reflect blue, regardless of the angle or intensity of light
Thats false. The green apple has a green pigment aka chlorophyll. It works that way with most colors aside from blue with the exceptions of things that actually have the blue pigment.
@@krste3000 The blue pigment also "uses physics" to reflect only blue wavelenghts and make us perceive it as blue. They're calling some animals "fake blue" without knowing the very definition of a color.
*There's no blue bird*
Blu from rio: am i a joke to you?

Smurfs : *laugh in blue*
So "fake blue" is when you cancel out other colors to reflect only blue light? Isn't that how all colors are? "Real blue" is when only blue light is reflected, isn't it? Just like "real red" is when only red light is reflected.
Thats what Im saying. Nature has found multiple ways to make colors, but our eyes still perceive it as blue. All colors are pretty much certain wavelengths of light ... Which is exactly how the 'fake blue' works aswell lol... Its just so utterly moronic I cant breathe
Blue light is blue light. When light hits something, it absorbs that light and re-emits it as the color of the object. But if something else between you and the object changes the color (like colored glass), then that color you see is no longer the color of the object. This is what is happening for most animals. They have something else that messes with the light, but it does not absorb and emit that light again, so it's not the animal's color.
@@Icewind007 But they're not using anything like colored glass. Colored glass or rose tinted glasses, I can look at a bowl of milk and know that the milk isn't red. But if the milk itself shifts around somehow and appears red? Why isn't it red?
Doesn't matter in which way it's blue...if it appears blue to the eyes its blue
So if I attach a blue filter to your face, you'll call everything 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 (to listen)
I'M BLUE
Da ba dee da ba da dee
😂😂😂😂 jesus you couldn't resists
Is he a Crip?
You can't trust your eyes. Especially if they're blue.
"no food is blue"
Blueberry: *offended*
its purple lmao
But... aren’t ALL local colors reflected light? Therefore, isn’t it true that what the video calls “pigment” is also a compound with a physical structure that absorbs all the other visible frequencies of light and only reflects the part of spectrum we perceive as blue?
the butterfly isn't blue but it's all the colors except blue. I think that is what NATGEO wants to tell us
They keep saying 'reflect' instead of 'refract'. The video was badly made. What they should've said was 'there are microscopic, prism-like cells on the surface of Morpho Butterfly wings, that *refract* blue light. Unlike the Olive Wing Butterfly which absorbs all other wavelengths of light and *reflects* blue
Yes. They're probably thinking that the rare "blue pigments" have LEDs attached on them to produce blue light and not just reflect it, like what they call "fake blue".
@@jolenemathews That doesn't change the fact that whatever we experience as blue is blue, because blue is the name of an experience, not an objective attribute of things.
Lol what if the other colors were just actually "reflection of light." And they're actually blue
NatGeo: “Animals cannot be blue”
Dory: *am I a joke to u?*
Woah my profile picture i took last summer is a lie😱
well, a pretty lie
Of course whe cannot trust our eyes... people with blindness know this quite well. But, if we see blue... it's blue. This relativism really get me tired sometimes...
I think the "you can't trust your eyes" only applies to somewhat functional ones...
It's kind of a default-thing...
Title: animals cannot be blue
Video: only a few animals are true blues
Me: ah yes, such contradiction
Guy: There are no blue foods
Percy Jackson: Loud gasp*
Actually they can but choose not to. They are strong independent butterflies.
this made me _literally_ lol
This is why Super Saiyan Blue is the strongest form!
UI is the strongest form
I hate when they say ‘ aminals USE tricks’ like they dont say ‘oh let me make myself look like blue’ its just natural selection or something
I'll stick with saying "The blue butterfly"
"There are no blue foods." Oh, well then what color is a blueberry?
Purple
Yellow
plane
Color is a device made by the government to deceive us into thinking that life is great when in reality, colors are small devices that are implanted in the back of your eyes at birth and only government officials know. If they leak the secret they are executed. Don't believe the government's lies! Open your eyes guys!
I believe they mean no food can be scientifically referred to as blue as it does not contain blue pigment. Please rewatch the video.
