Apropo:My understanding is that these colours actively floresce in the 
presence of
the UV in natural light, you can't expect to reproduce their properties with
any mix of conventional dyes.
 
I believe similar stuff is put in washing powder to make your wash "whiter"
and "brighter" [than what one wonders...].
