(c) Poicephalus senegalus: A brown base is covered with interference blue which, in turn, is overlaid with a chemical yellow to arrive at green. (d) Colotis regina: Red pigment is overlaid with interference blue to generate purple. (e) Inachis io: Interference blue on red creates purple; on black a vivid blue results.
