So apparently this is an actual thing, kinda though not usually for color. It’s called bio-mineralization and several species of insect including leaf cutter ants do it to in crease the strength and sharpness of their mandibles.

“In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“
