Best Answer

You cannot make fluorescent colours simply by mixing any coloured paints. Fluorescent paints are fluorescent because they contain a substance that fluoresces. This means that the substance absorbs light or heat and then readmits it at a different wavelength (usually in the visible light range) when its atoms are excited. Such a substance is fluorescein, a fluorescent dye. Fluorescence is used in strip lighting where a substance called phosphor, which coats the inside of the tube, and which glows when subjected to fluorescent Mercury vapour which is in the tube. Another substance, phenyl oxalate ester, glows in light sticks. Therefore, you can mix different colours as much as you wish, but they will never fluoresce unless the particular fluorescent substance is included with the paint pigment in the paint.

What is the difference between primary colors and primary colors of light?

The "primary colors" are the colors (wavelengths of light) that are combined to form other, additive shades and hues. The primary colors are red, blue, and green. When all three are added, the full spectrum is present and the light is perceived as "white". "Primary colors of light" can refer to the seven distinct wavelength ranges that exist in white light. (Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) Various combinations of wavelengths are present in colored (non-white) light. The colors of objects are the result of the object surface absorbing one or more wavelengths, so that the reflected light does not contain all colors.
