Re: Creating day-glow (fluorescent) materials?

Thanks for all the great tips but I wasn't looking for a material that actually glowed. I meant "day-glo" as in extremely bright colors

Specifically we're trying to replicate the look of a fluorescent orange plastic whistle. In the "real world" it's even brighter than it looks in this photo:

Our orange material seems a bit muddy by comparison. How can we make the plastic bright, but not have it look like a light?
