There are solutions to this problem. The Aura paint line from Benjamin Moore uses waterborne colorants that are colorfast. Sherwin Willaims uses a special tint system called Enviro-toners which are also waterborne. Pittsburg paint also has waterborne colorant which needs to be specially requested. Using stock paints for dark colors is also available through Benjamin Moore and Kelly Moore paint companies. UV Fade is a big problem with unprotected areas and using dark & bright colors.
