= **Do all Colors Fade at the Same Rate? ** = by Ali and Cecelia The hypothesis was that darker colors would fade more because they have more color pigments.

The hypothesis was incorrect because not all of the darker colors faded a great amount. Black was a dark color, and it faded second to least. The experimenters expected black to fade the most because it was darker and had more color pigments. The outcome of this experiment was that all colors do not fade at the same rate. Blue faded the most followed by green. Tan faded the least, followed by black. Although red, orange, and yellow all faded a good amount, they did not fade as much as blue. The reason that this outcome happened was because blue has many color pigments. The more the color pigments an item has, the more sunlight will be trapped. The more sunlight trapped in the color, the more that color will fade.

Another experiment that someone could do using color would be to use different types of materials. The experimenter could watch them fade, to see if different materials have a similar outcome. Also, if you are planning to use a color in the future you might want to consider using tan as the color. The reason for that is because it does not fade as much as some other colors, such as blue.

We would choose a project with a more distinct measuring scale. Our project was hard because we had to come up with our own scale.

Fading Scale: 1-5 1 means the color hardly faded and 5 means it faded a great amount
