>>11268423I need to get me some of these, they look ace!
>>11269923>>11269089I was curious about this too and so I did a wee bit 'o digging.
It turns out that while there are any number of glow colours (I've seen yellow, red, green, blue as a few examples) green is often chosen as :
1. It is the most often used and therefore the "pigment" so to speak is the cheapest to get.
2. Our eyes naturally respond to seeing green. - did you know that the human eye can recognise more shades of green than any other colour? You know those people who were always finding 4 leaf clovers? It turns out that 4 leaf clovers are a slightly different shade to normal clovers and some people can see the difference. Your normal pleb (i.e me) can't see it, but my eye recognises more greens than anything else.
3. Because of the above phenomenon, our eye responds better to green glow than other colours.. therefore, it seems to glow longer and brighter than the other options. (making it more attractive to companies and sales)
4. The other factor is pigments in the plastic as well. I have the GITD Toxie that responds to UV light. He is naturally a vomit green during the day, but he doesn't glow as brightly as my Scareglows because while Scareglows are made from solely glow green plastic, Toxie has a green pigment in him which not only dilutes the amount of phosphorous glow in his plastic, absorbs some of the out put light.
Thanks for reading my TED Tawk, I'll be here until I pass out.
Here is an updated piccie of my GOTD shelf for compensation.
