When choosing outdoor fabrics, a common question is whether dark or light colors fade faster. Traditionally, darker pigments were more susceptible to UV degradation. However, with advanced technologies like solution-dyeing, this is no longer a major concern. In solution-dyed fabrics like Spuncrylic®, the pigment is mixed into the fiber's core before it's even spun. This locks the color in, providing exceptional resistance to fading, regardless of the shade. While very dark colors like black may absorb more heat, their color stability is on par with lighter hues. Ultimately, you can choose the perfect color for your design aesthetic without compromising on long-term performance.
