Most pigments just (i) absorb certain light wavelengths and (ii) reflect others, but our fluorescent and phosphorescent pigments also (iii) absorb certain wavelengths and re-emit that light energy at different wavelengths. That is, they use energy from the photons in lightwaves to achieve a glow or “luminescence.” Thus, they are “photoluminescent.” Normal pigments are “passive.” Because of (iii) above, our pigments are considered “active.
