The is interesting! The K4 Black I gave away was also fading. The K4 Silver had no fading.

I use to sing the praises of the K4B because its text was really dark but when I gave it to my niece last year the text was starting to get lighter. She didn't mind. I also gave her my silver one which had no fade. Its text has always been a dark grey. My K3 shows no fading at all. It was bought in 2010. The K4s when each one was first released. I was an early adopter on both.

None have been used outdoors.
