Even in this case you will not have a protection against the time for color
negatives and color
transparencies or color prints.
Predicting DARK Fading stability (estimated storage time for a 20% Loss of
the least stable image Dye for storage in the Dark at 75ºF, 24ºC) are
between 16 to 100 years.
Ref H. Wilhelm: the permanence and care of color Photographs.
The whole color photographic art, testimony of the 20th century will
disappear, exhibited
or not, in the next 40 to 100 years!
