How does dayglo work?

Dayglo refers to fluorescent colors that appear exceptionally bright and vivid due to their ability to absorb ultraviolet light and re-emit it as visible light. This phenomenon occurs because the dyes used in Dayglo products contain special chemical compounds that interact with UV light, converting it into wavelengths that are more visible to the human eye. As a result, these colors seem to "glow" under daylight or black light conditions, making them popular in safety gear, art, and fashion.
