In the era of intelligence, the output colors of foundational phosphors are expected to be controlled by programs, while current activators‐determined afterglow candidates with fixed spectral channel have limitations in creating customized colors. Here, a long‐lived warm‐white emission is successfully demonstrated originating from self‐trapped excitons (STEs) in non‐toxic Cs2NaInCl6:Ag,Bi, ranging from 400 to 850 nm, of which the afterglow color can be easily customized using filters. This investigation indicates that 3% of Ag alloying breaks the dark STEs and introduces traps for efficient afterglow, while 3% Bi doping further improves the quantum yield to ≈100% and greatly enhances afterglow by ≈100‐fold compared with the initial intensity, allowing for an impressive afterglow persistence of over 20,000 s. Intriguingly, the self‐trapped defect bands from Jahn‐Teller distortions are prolonged from hundreds of femtoseconds to several hours, and they are first detected in the steady‐state absorption spectra after the cessation of excitation sources, contributing to the concluded dynamic afterglow model for STEs. And its intelligent application is corroborated by designed multi‐channel information system. These findings offer a novel scheme for understanding dynamic luminescence of STEs and supply an exemplification of designing white afterglow phosphors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
