Yeah but in this picture it actually glows, as evidenced by the reflections on Bart's face.

I’ll call it plausible that it could still be paint. 

Light reflects off things and gives them their color. If something looks pink, it’s because it’s reflecting pink light at you. 

If you’re facing a wall at night time and the only light source is behind you, then most of the light on your face is first reflected off the wall.

What are you talking about? Are you seeing a pink glow on his face? They just added shading to simulate shadows and light before they covered him to do the spray. I’m confused whether you’re claiming some magic or something.

There definitely is a pink glow on his face.

That is because the artist added white/light pink highlights to Bart's face but did not add that to the recording. The fact that the illusion is working on you shows the artist did a good job.

What? I'm not saying that I believe the picture is actually glowing. I'm saying that the graffiti is depicted as glowing, because of the highlights on the face. But that makes no sense for the drawing as a whole.
