color displays, [4][5][6][7] optical anti-counterfeiting, [8][9][10][11] and camouflaging. [12] Various systems have been employed to realize structural colors, such as plasmonic resonators, [13][14][15] all-dielectric systems, [16][17][18][19][20] and diffraction gratings. [21][22][23][24] These systems take advantage of various physical resonances and mechanisms such as surface plasmons, gap plasmons, [25][26][27] Mie resonances, [28][29][30] and thin-film interference. [19,31,32] In particular, structural colors based on thin-film interference such as Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity are promising as they can be easily scaled up, patterned using different processes, and produce vibrant colors. [19,33] Structural color elements can be designed such that they visually respond to different external stimuli through the use of suitable materials in an optically resonant system. Various optical systems such as FP, [34][35][36] Bragg reflector, [37] plasmonic, [38][39][40] and photonic crystal [41] structure types have been employed to realize such stimuli-responsive systems. Various materials such as hydrogels, [34,35,38,39] 2D materials, [37] and phase changing materials (i.e., VO 2 , Sb 2 S 3 ) [36,42] have been exploited in structural color responsive systems. Depending on the material that is incorporated into the optical system, the system can respond to one or multiple stimuli such as temperature and humidity. [38,39] While multiple demonstrations have been made, the issue of cost and simplicity of device design has yet to be fully addressed.Of the various external stimuli, a chemical response is of great importance. In chemical sensing, changes in the environment are detected by transforming the change into an analytically useful output such as color. [43][44][45] To this end, materials that respond to certain chemicals are integrated into an optical resonator. For instance, the poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-coacrylic acid) hydrogel was covalently bonded to a silicon (Si) substrate to realize a sensor through the thin-film interference effect to detect volatile organic compounds. [34] In another work, copper ions and glycoprotein were detected using an FP cavity made by sandwiching poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid-co-N-allyl acrylamide) hydrogel between Si substrate and a gold (Au) film through spectrometric measurements. [35] Previous reports do not provide enough color variation, lack saturated colors that are easy to distinguish visually, need spectrometric measurements, or use costly materials and processes.The cost-effective colorimetric detection of chemicals can be a potential substitute for expensive spectrometers. Here, a structural color sensor is presented that can distinguish seven different organic solvents through a timed sharp color change. The color sensor is based on interference effects in a metalinsulator-metal Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) serving as the dielectric layer. By tuning the cross-linker to monomer ratio of PDMS and employing a porous nickel (Ni) top layer, t...
