TL;DR: The light-color modulation mechanism of firefly (beetle) bioluminescence is proposed, where the light emitter is the excited singlet state of OL(-) [(1)(OL(-))*], and light emission is modulated by the polarity of the active-site environment of a luciferase and the degree of covalent character of the O8'...H bond between 1-O(-) and its ion-pair models.
