CK asked:

"Is it possible to get a computer screen to display fluorescent colours?
Like the kind of shining yellow or pink you get from a highlighter pen?"

Hi Chris, 

they won't flouresce exactly, but their are some fairly lurid colours even
in the web safe pallette

lime green:#CCFF66

bright blue: #66ffff

acid yellow: #ffff66

bright pink: #ff99ff

for example. these examples are quite light but have high values of r, g and
b which results in their brightmess.

not sure of the equation of the rgb values to the values of luminosity,
saturation and hue. but sure someone else out there does.

roger
