Fluorescent pigments are special materials that can absorb light and then re-emit it at a different wavelength, often producing bright, vivid colors. These pigments are commonly used in various applications, including art supplies, safety gear, and signage, to enhance visibility and attract attention. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, fluorescent pigments can appear even more vibrant, making them popular in products like highlighters and neon paints. Unlike regular dyes, which may fade over time, fluorescent pigments maintain their brightness, making them ideal for both decorative and functional uses.
