fadeproof
Won't lose color
Fadeproof describes materials, dyes, or finishes that resist losing color when exposed to light, washing, or time: fadeproof curtains, fadeproof ink.
The term appears most often in marketing for fabrics, paints, and printed materials.
Like similar compounds (waterproof, fireproof), it promises durability rather than absolute immunity.
