All film stock fades. Even with modern chemistry film
fades. Even if you store it in darkness at the proper
temperature and humidity it fades. Archivists are very
concerned about this and companies like Kodak are working
on the problem, but if you want film to last, then it has
to be in black and white.

Wait, I take that last statement back. Magnetic storing
and digital storage in general will last as well.
