untarnishable
Cannot lose luster
Untarnishable describes something that cannot be tarnished—that resists discoloration, corrosion, or damage to its surface.
The word appears most often in figurative contexts: an untarnishable reputation, untarnishable integrity.
It suggests permanence against forces that would diminish or corrupt: Her legacy remains untarnishable despite the controversy.
