Spatially modulated structural colour in bird feathers by Andrew J. Parnell, Adam L. Washington, Oleksandr O. Mykhaylyk, Christopher J. Hill, Antonino Bianco, Stephanie L. Burg, Andrew J. C. Dennison, Mary Snape, Ashley J. Cadby, Andrew Smith, Sylvain Prevost, David M. Whittaker, Richard A. L. Jones, J. Patrick. A. Fairclough, Andrew R. Parker

“…Abstract Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius) feathers display periodic variations in the reflected colour from white through light blue, dark blue and black. We find the structures responsible for the colour are continuous in their size and spatially controlled by the degree of spinodal phase separation in the corresponding region of the feather barb. …”

Incorporating Colour Information for Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Melanoma from Dermoscopy Images: A Retrospective Survey and Critical Analysis by Ali Madooei, Mark S. Drew

“…Due to this diagnostic importance, many studies have either focused on or employed colour features as a constituent part of their skin lesion analysis systems. These studies range from using low-level colour features, such as simple statistical measures of colours occurring in the lesion, to availing themselves of high-level semantic features such as the presence of blue-white veil, globules, or colour variegation in the lesion. …”
