Assuming your IR LEDs produce heat, you may find some help by googling thermochromism and heat sensitive color change. There are all sorts of materials that change color based on their surface temperature.

back in the 70's when I workede at NCR there were cards that glowed when exposed to infrared we used in one of our tests. Sorry , its too long ago to remember the brand on the cards.

They were GE Telltale cards, a phosphor screen laminated on a folding card that glowed red when hit by an IR LED. You charged it by holding it under a florescent light before use. I still have mine somewhere but use the phone camera now.
