photoresistant
Won't fade easily
Photoresistant describes materials or organisms that resist degradation or change when exposed to light.
In biology, photoresistant bacteria or pigments withstand UV damage that would destroy others.
In materials science, photoresistant coatings protect surfaces from sun damage: The photoresistant finish keeps the deck from fading.
