Ask HN: Is it possible to create ultraviolet cloth dyes

2 pointsby kadonoishialmost 3 years ago
Could a garment be created with a pattern in ultraviolet? It would appear white, but if you shone a UV light on it the pattern would come out. Many apparently white flowers turn out to have patterns visible in UV, which bees etc can perceive.<p>Seems like there&#x27;d be a certain market for fashion like that, with a sort of &quot;hidden meaning.&quot;

&quot;Our translucent glow ink cannot be seen in daylight but glows green in the dark&quot; it might glow under black light too<p>Source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;goodink.com&#x2F;services&#x2F;glow&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;goodink.com&#x2F;services&#x2F;glow&#x2F;</a>
