fluorescent orange

Highlighter marker shade

Fluorescent orange is a vivid, highly saturated orange that appears to glow, often used for safety vests, traffic cones, and hunting gear because of its visibility.

The color stands out against natural backgrounds and remains conspicuous in low light: The crossing guard wore a fluorescent orange vest.

Sometimes called safety orange or blaze orange.
