fade resistant
Keeps its color
Fade resistant describes materials, dyes, or finishes that maintain their color when exposed to sunlight, washing, or other conditions that typically cause fading.
The term appears on fabric labels, paint cans, and outdoor furniture: fade resistant upholstery, a fade resistant finish.
It promises durability rather than absolute permanence—colors may still fade eventually, just more slowly than untreated alternatives.
