Fluorescent paints are special types of coatings that glow brightly under ultraviolet (UV) light. They contain pigments that absorb UV light and re-emit it as visible light, creating a vibrant and eye-catching effect. These paints are commonly used in art, safety signs, and decorations to enhance visibility in low-light conditions. These paints can be found in various forms, including spray cans and liquid bottles, and are often used in crafts and theatrical productions. Fluorescent paints are also popular for safety applications, as they can make objects more noticeable in dark environments, helping to prevent accidents.
