A colloidal crystal structure includes a colloidal crystal layer including a plurality of colloidal particles and a binder disposed between the plurality of colloidal particles to fix the colloidal particles, and a refractive index control material that is provided on one surface of the colloidal structural layer, is transparent, and has a refractive index difference of less than 10% with respect to the binder. A light-emitting device includes an optical filter including the colloidal crystal structure, and a light source, and a part of primary light emitted by the light source passes through the optical filter. A lighting system includes the light-emitting device.
