Actually the kingfishers actual colour is a murky brown color. If you were to place the iridescent blue feather of the kingfisher into the shade, the colour changes to this brown colour. This is because when the kingfishers feathers are hit by the white light from the sun, the feathers only absorb the only absorb the blue frequency (wavelength) of light. As a result when the light reaches your eyes, the eyes register that the blue wavelength of light is missing, so we see the feathers as blue in the sun.
