Color fastness
Colour fastness is the resistance of a material to change in any of its colour characteristics, to the transfer of its colourants to adjacent materials or both. Fading means that the colour changes and lightens. Bleeding is the transfer of colour to a secondary, accompanying fibre material.
Colorfastness describes a textile’s ability to retain its original color when exposed to different types of chemical, mechanical, or environmental stress.
