The results of the study, which include comprehensive photoluminescence characterization, including quantum yield (QY) determination and angle-dependent emission analysis, provide a deep understanding of the integration process and the resulting photophysical properties. In addition, the effect of the dye addition on the size of the spheres and their monodispersity was evaluated. A careful choice of dyes and synthesis conditions in this study resulted in obtaining the materials that exhibit angle-dependent emission in different spectral ranges, demonstrating the versatility of the synthesis approach. Adjusting the sphere size to match specific dye emission wavelengths enabled the effective alignment of photonic band gap positions with the emission spectra, resulting in emission color shifts with the viewing angle.
