Among the most attractive features exhibited by natural quasi-amorphous structures (QASs) are the brilliant noniridescent structural colors that are consistent with people’s visual perception, thus holding enormous potential in color-related fields. Recently, considerable effort has been devoted to mimic short-range ordered QASs through microsphere self-assembly. However, comprehensive reviews concerning the architectural design and multifunctional application of microsphere-based QASs, especially intelligent biomimetic utilization, are few. The present review systematically summarizes the construction strategies and mechanisms of quasi-amorphous structural color materials and their advanced utilization, such as textile coloring, multicolor printing, dynamic display, eco-friendly pigments, visual sensors, and information security. Based on the scattering effect, we aim to provide constructive insights into the relevance between the structural optimization and noniridescent color generation of QASs for guiding the construction of versatile QASs with high color visibility and structural stability. Finally, the outlook and critical challenges of quasi-amorphous structural color materials are highlighted.

自然准非晶结构（QAS）最吸引人的特征之一是与人们的视觉感知一致的绚丽的非虹彩结构颜色，因此在颜色相关领域具有巨大的潜力。最近，通过微球自组装来模拟短程有序 QAS 的研究已经取得了相当大的进展。然而，关于基于微球的 QAS 的架构设计和多功能应用，特别是智能仿生利用的综合评论很少。本综述系统总结了准非晶结构色材料的构建策略和机理及其在纺织着色、多色印刷、动态显示、环保颜料、视觉传感器和信息安全等方面的先进应用。基于散射效应，我们旨在为 QAS 的结构优化和非虹彩颜色生成之间的相关性提供建设性的见解，以指导构建具有高颜色可见性和结构稳定性的多功能 QAS。最后，强调了准非晶结构色材料的前景和关键挑战。
