WHAT DOES DAY-GLO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Day-Glo

Blacklight paint

Blacklight ink or blacklight-reactive Ink is ink that glows under a black light, a source of light whose wavelengths are primarily in the ultraviolet. The paint may or may not be colorful under ordinary light. It is also known as luminous paint or fluorescent paint. Blacklight paints can be mixed with similar shades of normal pigments, "brightening" them when viewed in sunlight. The word "dayglo" is commonly used as an ordinary noun; however, "Dayglo" is a registered trademark of the DayGlo Color Corporation. The invention of fluorescent paints is attributed to Robert Switzer, who was confined to a dark room after a fall, and his brother Joseph, who was a chemistry major at UC Berkeley, in 1934. They took a black light into the storeroom of their father's drugstore looking for naturally fluorescent organic compounds and from that developed paints. Blacklight paints and inks are commonly used in the production of blacklight posters. Under daylight, the ultraviolet light ordinarily present makes the colors especially vivid. Under blacklight, the effect produced can be psychedelic.
