Glad i'm not. Can you imagine the kind of dumb social edict that would have built up around that?

Retail Employee, on their 10th day in a row with no overtime because the schedule got thrown together at the last minute again: [briefly shining above the infrared before fading back again] Hello sir, is there anything I can help you with today?

Customer [so angry he's strobing] How dare you! It's bad customer service to greet me with such pitiful luminescence! I've never been so insulted! Where is your manager?

Today we are not only glowing in our skins in our Walmart team Bio-Blue^Tm^ tones, but with excitement for our performance reviews! Anyone glowing out of sync or the wrong will placed on our Glow Up Blue Enthusiasm Enrichment Course.

Anyone spotted feeling red will be written up. Remember to keep your home colors home.

I refuse any fantasy where we did not figure out how to change our glow colors on demand.

Humans are, it's just very dim

There'd also probably be luminescence-based racism since different people would shine with a slightly different color.
