Blue light has a wavelength range from 400 to 480 nm. The slits in the scales of a butterfly wing are 200 nm apart.

Because the distance between slits corresponds to half of the wavelength of blue light, this is the wavelength that undergoes constructive interference.

The iridescent colour of a peacock originates in the fine side branches of the feathers.

The actual colour depends on the exact position of the spot on the branch and on the angle of the incident light.
