Blue
After this at Dirty John Bonny, I got me a-thinking: How many blue animals are really blue?
See, the blue in bird feathers and insect wings and in most fish is produced by a kind of selective iridescence, scattering light, like the blue sky does. Link.
That's sometimes called structural color as compared to pigment color.
I think that my featured frog and the nose of a mandrill are examples of blue pigment.
