burntwolf Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 does anyone know why glow-in-the-dark is always the yellowish color? is there no way to make other "glow-in-the-dark" colors? i can't think of any other instances of stuff that glows-in-the-dark that is anything but the whitish/yellow glowing stuff, so it must not be possible? just curious...

Guest Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 i assume this pertains to gitd in general, and not just with vinyl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntwolf Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 well i was wondering why no one ever did like a red GITD lp...(it was a question from the 4.5 year old really)...but then i also couldn't think of any other stuff that was GITD w/ colors...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I mean I usually associate glow in the dark with the more greenish color. The Cootees LP is that almost clear color, but the skrillex is greener. That seems to be the "spectrum" of glow in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntwolf Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 why would another base color make it triple the price? i'm not real clear on what actually makes it glow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apeman Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I once had a Denial of God lp, that glowed red. The vinyl itself was kind of milky white, not greenish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabpower Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I have seen some plastic stuff of different colour glow in the dark (red/pink, green, yellow, orange). I suppose it's possible to have vinyl of different colour glow in the dark too. I have a greenish Against Me! RAR that glows, the poster above me has a red/pink/white one... There just not many pressings like that because of, I beleive, sound quality problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
