Like it or not,  science and tests can be useful, as when they  tell  
us that PY3 is marginally lightfast at best, and that Daniel Smith  
isn't one of the best brands for lightfastness. According to  
handprint, the full strength color in most brands darkens and browns  
significantly over time, and that frequently the tints fade  
noticeably.   So, take your pick, "facts" or  science.
