The very purpose of paint is to absorb light. It reflects the desired colors and absorbs all the other visible light.

You would need a "paint" that converts light into something else. Photovoltaic cells are the only device I know to exist.

Maybe some new nanotechnology based on quantum dots will be able to change light frequency and have paints that appear to be unnaturally brighter (and cool).
