Langridge Dry Ground Pigment Set of 8 x 30ml Fluorescent Colours # Xmas 2025 #

Finely ground dry pigments suitable for artists who wish to prepare their own colours.

Langridge, since its establishment, has supplied artists with highest specification pigments sourced from around the world. Every colour is verified for its origin and identified for its chemical characteristics to provide the artist with a range of pigments noted for their quality of grade and fineness, ensuring the maximum benefit in tone and chroma.

Unlike regular pigments that simply reflect light, fluorescent and phosphorescent pigments have the ability to absorb and then emit light.

• Absorption and Emission: Fluorescent pigments absorb light in the ultraviolet (UV) or short-wavelength part of the spectrum. After absorption, they re-emit light at a longer wavelength, typically in the visible spectrum, to produce vibrant colours.
• Black Light Reactivity: Can be used in conjunction with black lights (UV lamps) to enhance their visibility, exhibiting a more intense and vivid fluorescence.
• Lightfastness: Fluorescent pigments degrade over time relative to the amount of light that strikes them. They should be considered as fugitive colours.

It is worth noting that the terms “fluorescent” and “phosphorescent” refer to different phenomena. Fluorescence involves the rapid emission of light upon absorption, while phosphorescence involves a delayed emission, where light is emitted even after the removal of the excitation source.

Contains Fluorescent Yellow, Orange, Red, Pink, Magenta, Violet, Blue and Green.
