fluorescent
Emitting cold light
Fluorescent describes things that glow by absorbing light at one wavelength and emitting it at another—typically producing bright, vivid colors.
Fluorescent lights use this principle, converting ultraviolet radiation into visible light.
The word often describes the harsh, flat quality of such lighting: the fluorescent glare of the office.
Fluorescent colors are intensely bright, almost glowing: fluorescent yellow highlighters, fluorescent pink.
