Our Color Changes Everything

About us

It's Color. Only Better. Day-Glo Color Corp. is the world's largest manufacturer of daylight fluorescent pigments. We develop technologies that improve and enhance any color, from subtle specialty effects, to glow-in-the-dark pigments, to our classic range of fluorescents. We're proud of our heritage and the role our fluorescents played in pop culture history. From the days of disco to punk rock and pop-art posters to graffiti on the Berlin wall - no matter the trend, no matter the event, Day-Glo was there, making things brighter, bolder, and so much cooler! But there's a lot more to Day-Glo than just fluorescents. With our extensive technical expertise and diversified product lines, Day-Glo has served the world's color marketplace since the 1930's. At Day-Glo, we make colors better - richer reds, brighter oranges, deeper greens, and even colors that glow in the dark! Discover for yourself our custom color solutions for packaging and consumer goods, plastics, graphic arts, paints and coatings, dyes and textiles, as well as the personal care and cosmetics ingredients industries. Day-Glo was founded in 1946 by Bob and Joe Switzer, who originally experimented with certain dyes and resins that produced bright colors that had the unique effect of glowing under ultraviolet light. These unique effects were originally used in magic shows and theater. As the chemistry and manufacturing process improved, the areas of application expanded. In 1991 Day-Glo was purchased by its current owner, RPM, Inc., a worldwide producer of coatings, sealants and specialty chemicals. Today Day-Glo's technology has continued to grow and the company has developed products for many other industries including security pigments, and consumer products.

    💡 Neon art has come a long way since its origins in commercial signage, thanks to visionary artists who redefined the medium. As pioneers in this vibrant field, artists like Dan Flavin, Joseph Kosuth, Chryssa, Keith Sonnier, Mary Weatherford, and Alex Da Corte transformed neon from a tool of advertisement into an art form, exploring the intersections of light, color and space. At DayGlo, we’re proud to be part of this electrifying legacy. Our fluorescent colors have been the catalyst for incredible artistic expression, shaping and illuminating the unseen. Just as these artists used neon to create unforgettable visual experiences, DayGlo continues to redefine the boundaries of color and creativity. With DayGlo, you’re not just seeing color; you’re experiencing it in its most brilliant and bold form. Here’s to celebrating the history of neon art and looking forward to how our colors will continue to inspire and innovate in the art world. #DayGloColor #NeonArt #ArtHistory #FluorescentInnovation #ArtAndColor #BrightestBoldest

    🎬✨ I Saw the TV Glow is an A24 film that demonstrates 'fluorescent adolescence' on screen. Released at the end of July, this film, directed by Jane Schoenbrun and with cinematography by Eric K. Yue, draws viewers into uniquely designed spaces bathed in fluorescent light. The film’s screen-lit rooms blend nostalgia with a touch of unease, enhancing its coming-of-age horror narrative. Eric K. Yue explains, ‘There’s an intimacy when you turn off all the lights; the glow of a fish tank or a TV screen strikes a balance between horror and enchantment.’ The vibrant DayGlo colors enrich the visual storytelling and deepen the emotional impact of the film, adding an otherworldly charm to the screen. #DayGloColor #ISawTheTVGlow #FluorescentAdolescence #A24Film #CinemaMagic #NostalgicGlow

    Peter Max is an American artist celebrated for his bright colors and bold imagery. His art became a defining symbol of the 1960s, particularly in the realms of psychedelic and pop art, capturing the vibrant energy of the emerging youth culture with DayGlo pigments. 🎨 In the late 1960s, Max's DayGlo landscapes encapsulated the decade's cheery, trippy optimism. His piece 'Top Cat' reflects the nonstop intensity of the 1960s and his childhood in Asia, with DayGlo colors so intense they seem to glow. 🌈 In 'Year 2250,' Max uses ultra high-intensity DayGlo colors, creating afterimages with saturated complementary pairs. He employs broken lines and various printing techniques like lithography and serigraphy, enhancing the vividness of his designs. ✨ At DayGlo, we’re proud to have contributed to Peter Max's creative journey, helping him achieve the vivid, eye-catching effects that have inspired generations. As the inventor of fluorescent pigments, DayGlo has played a crucial role in art and culture, bringing vibrant colors to life and leaving a lasting legacy. 🌟 #DayGlo #PeterMax #FluorescentColors #ArtHistory #PsychedelicArt #PopArt #OurColorChangesEverything #1960sArt
