Notes on colors:
-------------------------------------
Aqua, Green, and Blue look very similar in the chart, while the camera can
not see the difference very well these colors are indeed slightly different
in person. Aqua is the base color for all Cool Neon wire as this is the
natural color of the phosphor as it glows, thus this is the brightest color.
The phosphor looks white when unlit, so our Aqua wire has just a simple
clear flexible coat. It looks like a greenish
sky blue when lit.
The Blue wire has the same aqua core wire, but the coating around it is deep
blue so when the light is filtered through it the it appears a nicely
saturated Blue.
The Green wire has the same aqua core wire, but the coating around it is
deep forest Green so when the light is filtered through it the it appears a
subtle saturated.greener. It can be described as teal/ forest pine green /
peacock green.
Aqua-Blue-and-Green are different, yet extremely complimentary, and I use
just these 3 colors in alot of my personal artwork
---------------------------------------
White looks pinkish. White is a mid-brightness color. Pink pigment is added
to the normally white phosphor (that normally illuminated aqua) to make it
look pink. The 2.5mm high bright is the most pure white when illuminated, it
actually looks white. The 5mm is second best, with slightly purpler as the
light diffuses into the thick coating. The 1.2mm, 2.3mm, and 3.2 mm that
have pink cores are not as white as they look like a very washed out pastel
pink / baby pink. White is very complimentary to Pink and Purple.
***Currently if you order 2.3mm or 3.2mm you will be getting White wire with
a white core that glows washed out purplish white. If you want the pink
cored White wire please specify in the NOTES section when checking out or
call us****
----------------------------------------
Lime green is very bright! Not as bright as aqua, but the eye is very
good at seeing this color making it look much brighter than it actually is.
It looks like highlighter yellow when unlit/ In the chart the 5mm best
depicts what color the Lime green color actually looks like. Every diameter
is similar in color accept for the 1.2mm which looks bright yellow when
unlit and a yellowier greenish tint when lit. Lime green is unique, it is
not really similar to any other we offer, and is not close to our standard
green color. It can be described as radio active / uranium / kryptonite /
alien green.
---------------------------------------
Yellow looks orange in 1.2mm before lit.
---------------------------------------
Orange is not available in 1.2mm
---------------------------------------
Magenta in 1.2mm is a special order color that must be special
ordered. It is in in between Pink and Purple
---------------------------------------
Chinese Pink and Chinese Purple in 5mm are different from our other wires.
They have a thinner and less bright core and do not last as long. The
phosphor is more susceptible to dark spots and is better suited for applying
stationary objects. They appear more magenta than our normal wire. While
they are inferior to our normal Lytec wire, these two diameters are very
pretty and unique.
--------------------------------------
Red and Purple are our dimmest colors, I suggest the 2.5mm or 5mm with high
bright cores if you are to purchase these colors.
