PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a color-presenting body which can present a color with a luster or a deep hue.;SOLUTION: This color-presenting body 1 is a structural body which has a translucent porous body 20 having a plurality of pores 21 having a smaller diameter than the wave length of incident light, in between the first reflector 10 with a semitransparent and semireflective property and the second reflector 30 with a semitransparent and semireflective property or a completely reflective property. The plurality of the pores 21 in the translucent porous body 20 preferably are partially filled with a metal 50. The color-presenting body 1 shows absorption characteristics of absorbing a light having a particular wavelength according to a mean complex refractive index of the first reflector 10, a mean complex refractive index of the second reflector 30, and a mean complex refractive index and thickness of the translucent pore body 20; and thereby changes the characteristics of the incident light by optical characteristics containing the absorption characteristics to emit a colored light. Out of the first reflector 10 and the second reflector 30, the surface of the reflector at least in the side of emitting the colored light is preferably protected by a translucent protective material 12.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
