This color contains the following pigments:
BV11:1—Fluorescent Blue-Violet BV11:1
Pigment Type
organic
Chemical Name
n/a
Chemical Formula
n/a
Properties
Fluorescent pigments such as BV11:1 offer intense and brilliant effects because they absorb ultraviolet light and re-emit light at longer wavelengths.
Permanence
Like all fluorescent pigments, BV11:1 is not considered permanent. It will fade with exposure to ultraviolet light.
Toxicity

BR1:1—Rhodamine 6G
Pigment Type
organic, fluorone dye
Chemical Name
n/a
Chemical Formula
C28H31N2O3Cl
Properties
Rhodamine 6G is a staining reddish-yellow pigment that has fluorescent properties. It is extremely soluble in both water and alcohol. Fluorescent molecules absorb light at one wavelength and emit light at a longer wavelength.
Permanence
Rhodamine 6G, like all fluorescent dyes, is not considered permanent, however it is reported to have high stability for a fluorone dye.
Toxicity
Rhodamine 6G is toxic, however it can be biologically inactive and hence non-toxic in a lake pigment form.
History
Rhodamine dyes are often used for microscopy in the biological sciences.
Alternate Names
Pigment R81:1.
