Re:Looks monochrome to me (Score 1)

that could easily be done. To get most energy out of the sun, photosynthetic organisms (plants, algae mostly) must take into account the spectral properties of the light. Evolution answered with not one type of photoreceptor, but many different, each having its preferred wavelength. All the work is already done, just a matter of copy-pasting. Then generating the corresponding color would be (almost) trivial, through expression of chimeric proteins (chimera between a given photoreceptor and a given chromogenic enzyme). Voila !
