hello,

my indigo i bought in the summer of 2006. it was very vibrant blue the time i bought and now it's just very very dark and lost the depth.
what can i do to bring it back to life?
does soak it in woolite help?

thanks!!!
 
ooo, I can not imagine Woolite restoring color.

So the way I understand it is that certain colors fade faster than others (there is a thread around here somewhere).

Cyan and red fades faster than other colors, so a true blue bag will have those plus greens in it.

Once some colors start fading, the other colors are more visible, KWIM??

So a once blue bag, after loosing some of it's red may look darker/less bright.

Sorry....
 
thanks hmwe!!
you made total sense. no wonder my grape is getting lighter as well...probably the disappearing of red/cyan in it.
i guess my rouille will end up more brownish....:crybaby: hopefully nothing will happen to my cornflower...i heard that color will fade too...
...somehow...red, turq (blue family) and purple are my favourite....i feel so.......:crybaby:....:crybaby:
