Anything clear should be about as non-light-absorbent as pure water. Glass, for example.

Or use a dielectric mirror and laser-light - so the overwhelming majority of monochromatic photons are reflected.

Interesting. Just not sure then why they need the extra polymers added. They should have at least done some rounds with just water.

I find it super fascinating that the most effective color happens to be that of chlorophyll.
