Blacklight paint

Blacklight paint or blacklight-reactive paint is paint that glows under a blacklight. The paint may or may not be colorful under ordinary light.

Such paints and inks are commonly used in the production of blacklight posters. Under daylight, the ultraviolet light ordinarily present makes the colors especially vivid. Under blacklight (with little of no visible light present), the effect produced can be psychedelic.

Blacklight paints are always fluorescent. More rarely, they may also be phosphorescent, continuing to glow for a time after the blacklight has been removed.
