Neonvärejä

Neonvärejä refers to a group of highly saturated, luminous colors that appear to emit light. These colors are typically brighter and more intense than conventional pigments. The term "neon" is derived from the noble gas neon, which glows brightly when an electric current passes through it. While true neon colors are produced by gases, the term has been adopted in the world of pigments and dyes to describe colors with a similar vibrant and eye-catching quality.

Neon colors are achieved through special dyes and pigments that absorb ultraviolet light and re-emit it at a higher visible wavelength. This process makes them appear brighter than surrounding colors, especially in daylight or under fluorescent lighting. Common neon colors include fluorescent pink, green, yellow, orange, and blue. They are often associated with the 1980s, rave culture, and modern graphic design due to their striking visual impact.

In practical applications, neon colors are used in safety equipment, such as high-visibility vests and traffic cones, to enhance visibility. They are also popular in fashion, art, and marketing to create bold statements and attract attention. The intensity of neon colors can sometimes be overwhelming, and they are often used sparingly or in combination with more subdued tones to achieve a balanced aesthetic. The perception of neon colors can also vary depending on the lighting conditions and the viewer's individual color perception.
