The evolutionary reason why many animals display color changes remains a key question. Solving it requires an integrative understanding of the biological significance of colors. In this work, I investigate the structure–function relationship of color-changing ommochrome pigments and their organelles using analytical chemistry, quantum modelling and subcellular multimodal imaging. This interdisciplinary approach reveals that the photochemical and intracellular bases of ommochromes determine both their color-changing capacities and their chemical reactivity, among other pleiotropic functions. My results support the idea that color changes of ommochromes are a multiscale property that affects biologically relevant functions besides coloration,...
