Adjectives for Colors

[Tom]

Hi

I would like to know two adjectives, apparently opposite in nature, for the noun color.

1- For colours which come off easily,I mean, which are not strong:---------------colors.

And, of course the opposite. The colors which hardly come off: ------------------colors.

You can talk about color as being fast which means the color is resistant to destruction or fading...

Is that what you mean, Tom?

Hi Tom

The best I can do is:
colo(u)rfast / non-colo(u)rfast
permanent / non-permanent

Another synonym for colorfast is indelible and the opposite would be delible. However, this would usually be used if you are talking about ink rather than dye.
