I have seen this happen to black items. Does the item look too worn? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fade-to-grey-or-not#post-2150431 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 14:27:52 +0000 Star (Lise) 2150431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cindysmith</b>, blue to red - that is weird?!</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, I agreed - faded blacks can be more flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fade-to-grey-or-not#post-2150380 Wed, 28 Oct 2020 06:34:43 +0000 Anonymous 2150380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My blacks tend to fade to a grey or a dull black, which is actually more flattering to me than a really black black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fade-to-grey-or-not#post-2150315 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 16:55:10 +0000 cindysmith 2150315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had navy blue that turned red where bleach spilled on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fade-to-grey-or-not#post-2150110 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 10:36:25 +0000 Star (Lise) 2150110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bella</b>, gosh black to burgundy is weird :).&nbsp; Never seen that.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fade-to-grey-or-not#post-2150093 Mon, 26 Oct 2020 07:34:11 +0000 bella 2150093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had black fade to dark burgundy before.

Colour IS fascinating - and dye and pigments are their own ball of wax. The difference between going to buy ink for your printer v paints to paint a picture... it’s like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fade-to-grey-or-not#post-2150010 Sun, 25 Oct 2020 07:25:09 +0000 Star (Lise) 2150010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Inge</b>, Yes!&nbsp; It now fits in my olive capsule :)<br /><b>Bijoux</b>, I have also had blacks fade to brown.<br /><b>TG&nbsp;</b>and&nbsp;<b>Sal</b>, colour is fascinating.&nbsp; I did notice my shirt is made in India, where vegetable dye is used, so maybe that is the cause.&nbsp; My hubs has a black leather jacket made in India that is wearing green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fade-to-grey-or-not#post-2149897 Sat, 24 Oct 2020 02:31:21 +0000 Sal 2149897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I have had that happen- I know exactly what you mean. </p> <p>Lucky that you like olive green! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fade-to-grey-or-not#post-2149788 Fri, 23 Oct 2020 12:58:35 +0000 Helena 2149788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I find blacks can have unexpected undertones to them, that can show up either when they fade, or when worn with other blacks that have different ones. Colour is endlessly fascinating isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fade-to-grey-or-not#post-2149785 Fri, 23 Oct 2020 12:44:43 +0000 Bijou 2149785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had black fade to a brown base - alas not a colour that looks good on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fade-to-grey-or-not#post-2149781 Fri, 23 Oct 2020 12:37:56 +0000 Inge 2149781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't no, but good to know. And fun that you now have a purple and olive plaid shirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fade-to-grey-or-not#post-2149767 Fri, 23 Oct 2020 11:02:34 +0000 Star (Lise) 2149767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed today (in the sun) that the black checks in my old black and purple plaid shirt are olive green.&nbsp; Not so bad I guess as my preferred color currently is olive green :)&nbsp; Has anyone else experienced black fading to olive green and not grey?&nbsp; Maybe it is the purple overlay...<b></b> </p>
