Among the many properties of proteins, sugars, nucleic acids, membranes and other cellular components, color is not present. At the same time, we humans have a natural ability of recognizing and appreciating colors, and use them generously, with the aim of both delivering information and pleasing the eyes. In this article, I suggest how we can conciliate these two situations, with the contribution of biologists, artists, and computer graphics and perception experts. The concept can be developed in a series of initiatives involving the community, including discussion sessions, technical challenges, experimental studies and outreach activities.
在蛋白质、糖、核酸、膜和其他细胞成分的众多特性中，颜色并不存在。同时，我们人类天生具有识别和欣赏颜色的能力，并慷慨地使用它们，目的是传递信息和赏心悦目。在本文中，我建议如何调和这两种情况，生物学、艺术家、计算机图形和感知专家的贡献。该概念可以通过一系列涉及社区的举措来发展，包括讨论会议、技术挑战、实验研究和外展活动。
