The sales rep at a wire mfr recently opined that USE-2 colors other than black will not have the same sunlight resistance.
I had some red in the field which faded to pink but still looked OK after a few years...but that's only after a few years, and only OK. White in the same installation faded to...white but I still am nervous about using colors after that conversation. The latest batch that I bought is straight black; I believe the black stuff contains carbon black which is the "secret sauce" for UV resistance. Further input from the List would be appreciated.
