Abstract:
1. A coating composition for applying to a substrate comprising: a resinous binder having dispersed therein colorants and reflective pigments, wherein said colorants absorb visible light at a first wavelength band and produce fluorescent light at a second wavelength band when exposed to visible light, said coating composition exhibiting a first appearance on face dominated by absorbance of light by said colorants and a second appearance on flop dominated by fluorescence of the colorants, wherein the concentration of said colorants in the coating composition is about 0.001 wt. % to about 50 wt. %, and wherein when the colorant comprises colorant pigments, the size of the pigment is selected so that the pigment particles will not scatter light effectively.
