longevity of colors

2 messages · last activity 2/27/2007

My first color piece-a beautiful koi.I was wondering about the lasting of color.I have heard that reds,blacks and greens last very well,and that blues,yellows and whites will fade much faster.This piece is on my leg,so sun exposure will be semi-minimal.My concern is that my bright red and orange koi(which will be surrounded by blue and white water)will look stupid when the blue and white fades.Am I being a chicken or do the blues and whites have a tendency to fade?If they will fade how long will they look good?Will the blues and whites fade faster than the reds?
what kind of pigment did they use...
