Only when kept under Archival conditions - the last discussion I recall
having with a conservation scientist, for colour print materials, this was
generally low temperature (-20 or 40c, can't remember which), foil sealed
etc etc.

general archival conditions - dark, stored in archival files etc,
temperature and humidity controlled will generally give it a good life
otherwise. Same for Kodachrome

Just working on some 40+ year old Kodachrome, not kept in especially
archival conditions. Some has faded others still looks pretty good.
