'To suppose that the eye ...should have formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree' - thus wrote Charles Darwin in "On The Origin Of Species".

But was he right? Taking the colours of the spectrum as his keys to the natural world, Andrew Parker shows us that Darwin in fact had no reason to worry, and that Nature's palette is a far more miraculous thing than we had previously imagined.
