I am not an expert in this, but I am fairly certain that it is not the color per se that glows, it is the material that the color is made of. It has to be a material that absorbs (invisible) ultraviolet - what you call 'black light', and emits some visible frequency. So to get paint that glows under a black-light, you may want to purchase paint that is especially made to glows under a black-light.

Yes, my suspicions are correct. I looked on Ebay for "ultraviolet paints", and found paints listed. You might also try "blacklight paints".
