The pigment genes of living organisms are like an ancient palette, holding the hues of evolution. From the tiniest microbes to the grandest whales, every species has a unique color signature. But the planet’s canvas is being radically altered, with some colors fading and others intensifying. Organisms must adapt or be outpainted. In the post-human era, the mixing of genetic palettes has accelerated this chromatic evolution. This chromatic survival strategy highlights the competition between species but also suggests the possibility of shared genetic resources and cooperative survival strategies.

生物們的色素基因就像是一本古老的配方書，記錄了生命演化過程中無數次的嘗試和錯誤。從微小的細菌到龐大的鯨魚，生物們都發展出了各自獨特的色素系統，以適應不同的生存環境。然而，這個星球正在經歷一場前所未有的劇烈轉變，有些色彩驟然消逝，有些色素卻瘋狂增殖，讓物種不得不變色以求生。在後人類時代，基因水平轉移變得頻繁，讓生物色素系統的演化急劇加速。色譜求生法刻劃了生物之間的競爭，但也留有撰寫共享基因資源的空間，使需協同合作的生存策略被不斷修正。
