Let there be light, let it be white : Recent developments in the use of chromophore‐based gels as scaffolds for the assembly of white‐light‐emitting soft materials have been significant. The main advantage of this approach lies in the facile accommodation of selected luminescent components within the gel. Excitation‐energy‐transfer processes between these components ultimately generate the desired light output.
