Figure 4. Sample search results produced by FReD in response to a search query.

(The query is “blue”, looking for flowers that are either human- or bee-blue). At the top of the page of search results (a), the user has the option to display the colour hexagon (shown) and some basic descriptive statistics about the composition of the results returned. This is hidden by default to reduce page-loading times. The user can then click on an individual species record to bring up more detailed information (b) about that plant species and its floral reflectance graph, as well as viewing the colour locus for that species in three different bee colour space models.
