Any shorter wavelength of light will charge something the phosphoresces (ie glows in the dark). Violet will charge all other visible colors, green will charge yellow and up in wavelength, red would only charge up darker shades of red. The wavelength of the light doing the charging must be shorter than the wavelength of light emitted by the fluorescing/phosphorescing object (shorter wavelength is higher energy).
The "de-phosphorescing" being talked about here is what Benm is talking about. Sometimes lower energy light can provide the activation energy necessary for a non-radiative pathway. If left alone, the electrons that are at higher energy will sit there for a while and eventually fall back down to ground radiatively (emitting a photon). But there are other ways for electrons to give up their energy, such as non-radiative recombination. The IR or red light isn't high enough energy to cause electrons to excite up to the high-energy state, but it can provide the activation energy for high-energy electrons to transition back down in energy must faster than they otherwise would have through non-radiative processes.
