Sophisticated methods have been created by nature to produce structure-based colors as a way to address the need of a
wide variety of organisms. This pallet of available structures presents a unique opportunity for the investigation of new
photonic crystal designs. Low-temperature sol-gel biotemplating methods were used to transform a single biotemplate
into a variety of inorganic oxide structures. The density of optical states was calculated for a diamond-based natural
photonic crystal, as well as several structures templated from it. Calculations were experimentally probed by spontaneous emission studies using time correlated single photon counting measurements.
