neonfärger

Neonfärger, also known as fluorescent colors, are pigments that appear exceptionally bright and luminous. They achieve this brilliance due to a process called fluorescence, where they absorb ultraviolet (UV) light and then re-emit it at a longer wavelength, typically in the visible spectrum. This re-emission of light, in addition to reflecting ambient light, makes neon colors appear much brighter than conventional colors under normal lighting conditions.

The vibrant shades associated with neon colors, such as electric yellow, hot pink, lime green, and bright orange, are a result of specific chemical compounds used in their formulation. These compounds are often organic dyes that possess the necessary fluorescent properties. The intensity of a neon color is directly related to the amount of UV light present; they are most striking in daylight or under UV "black" lights.

Neon colors have found widespread use across various applications. They are commonly employed in safety equipment and high-visibility clothing, such as traffic vests and athletic wear, to enhance visibility in low-light conditions. In art and design, neon colors are used for their attention-grabbing qualities, appearing in everything from signage and advertising to fashion and interior decor. Their use in graphic design and digital media is also prevalent for creating eye-catching visual effects. The perception of neon colors can vary slightly depending on the surrounding environment and the viewer's visual perception.
