  That’s what color they are in the “visible” spectrum, I wonder what they look like if you added in the ultraviolet spectrum that bees and other insects can see

    Well, we can’t really picture a color outside the visible spectrum. Just try to imagine a color you’ve never seen…

      Point being they might have wonderful patterns or be beautifully vibrant in the UV spectrum, but those pigments don’t look like anything beyond a sickly yellow if all you can see is the human visible light spectrum
