I love how your paintings look so unfaded even after all these years.

Thanks! I use a special type of paint that lasts longer.

That's really smart; I need to try that for my next project.

Definitely! It makes a huge difference in keeping the colors vibrant.

Root Explanation

Unfaded → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "faded" (from Old English "fadian", meaning to grow pale or lose color). The word "unfaded" means not having lost color or brightness.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having 'lost color' ('faded') — that's why unfaded means something that retains its original color.
