Why Do Organic Pigments Fade? The Molecular Origins of Color Loss Organic pigments fade because high-energy photons attack the chromophore—the conjugated π‑electron array that gives color—breaking bonds and disrupting the planar geometry essential for hue. Once the conjugated path snaps, the color disappears. Even worse, the photon often leaves behind radicals that spread damage molecule … Read more
