Phosphorescent and Thermochromic Painting What is it? “Glow in the dark” paint resulting in fluorescent pigments. How does it work? The paint’s phosphors absorb energy from light, such as daylight or an artificial light source. Phosphorescent behavior results from the luminous energy stored by the photoluminescent pigment, absorbed during the day, which is then slowly…
