Structural color attracts considerable scientific interests and industrial explorations in various fields for the eco-friendly, fade-resistant, and dynamic advantages. After the long-period evolution, nature has achieved the optimized color structures at various length scales, which has inspired people to learn and replicate them to improve the artificial structure color. In this review, we focus on the design of artificial structural colors based on colloidal particle assembly and summarize the functional bioinspired structure colors. We demonstrate the design principles of biomimetic structural colors via the precise structure engineering and typical bottom-up methods. Some main applications are outlined in the following chapter. Finally, we propose the existing challenges and promising prospects. This review is expected to introduce the recent design strategies about the artificial structure colors and provide the insights for its future development.
