light:Why do colours in fabrics appear different under fluorescent light?

Why do colours in fabrics appeal different under fluorescent light?
 In our daily lives, we offen notice that the colour of clothing as seen under fluorescent lights. indoors looks different under sunlight outdoors. Colours like red are much more pronounced in sunlight than under fluorescent lights. Do you know why this is so? Like sunlight, fluorescent light is also white light, and it is also made up of many different wavelengths. But the wavelengths in fluorescent light are different from those in sunlight. So, when these wavelengths are reflected to our eyes, we get the feeling that there is something a bit different about the colour of our clothes.
