"It's unlikely to fade or dis colour overtime, but some resin driveways may fade due to the effects of the sun, but most resins are UV stable."

"with resin driveway materials is that the colour you get could experience premature fading. This is due to direct exposure to the sun's rays I would recommend flags or block then have the job sealed"

"Resin driveways have not been around long enough to take the test of time they were quickly where cars are parked and discolour over time. Great for garden areas as no traffic of vehicles but they do attract moss"

"Hi my name is Gary I have extensive experience in resin driveways,the simple answer is as with most things if it is done correctly then the fading will be very minor,there will be some but very very little with the way that the products have evolved over the years"

"That all depends on the quality of resin the tradesman uses there are different types and some will leave your driveway like a sponge or completely turn your couler non uv resin is notorious for that so uv protective resin is more expensive all I can say is do your research ring the company's who supply it and ask them so you can make sure your contractor isn't trying to save costs and leave you with a bad job"

"So my recommendation is anthracite it’s a darker shade and typically can go longer lengths of time before washing and typically in most cases looks a lot better than the lighter colours"
