Photochromic dyes

While looking into thermochromic dyes with my partner we came across photochromic dyes. These are dyes which are only visible in the sun's UV rays, meaning dye which is applied to white fabric for example would appear white indoors but when taken outside the colour or print on the fabric would become visible. This is another possibility we could explore where the fabric can interact with its surrounding environment. Below is a site which supplies these dyes:

We have made contact with the company and requested prices for the dyes and the process of applying them to fabric.
