A man claimed he was attacked in his dark apartment hallway by a prowler wearing a glowing neon green jacket. The investigator turned on the room lights and checked the hallway, then arrested the homeowner for insurance fraud. Why?
You cannot see neon colors in the dark.
Neon clothing requires ambient light to reflect its bright color; in a pitch-black hallway, a jacket would appear black or invisible, not glowing green.
