The invention relates to a process for producing safety textiles in one of the following colors: fluorescent yellow, fluorescent orange-red or fluorescent red. In a first step a textile starting material is pre-dyed in the desired color such that the pre-dyed fluorescent material has a specified first minimum luminance factor and the color is situated within an associated color diamond. After that the pre-dyed material is cross-dyed with a mixture of a luminescent pigment dye and a binder in such a way that the cross-dyed fluorescent material has a specified second minimum luminance factor and the color of the cross-dyed material continues to be situated within the color diamond. Subsequently the cross-dyed material is dried.
