Question

Why does we soak over washed clothes in ultramarine?

Short Answer

Solution

Ultramarine is fluorescent because it absorbs ultraviolet radiation from sunlight and emits visible blue, violet, and indigo light. This process compensates for the blue-violet light lost through scattering in the atmosphere, which allows the clothes to reflect a more balanced mixture of colours and appear whiter.
