I'm intrigued.

My Dad loves hunting and my Mom had to wash his hunting clothes in special detergent with no brighteners. They do reflect ultraviolet light. I guess that's how it makes the colors seem brighter to us. His big hunting catalog from Cabela's has some pictures of how an animal might perceive clothes that are reflecting uv light. I'm sure it is not really that spectacular but it sells that special laundry soap.
