ᐅ Why do colors change with Billy?

Hello everyone,

I have recently noticed that the colors of my Billy shelves, especially the white versions, tend to change over time. I’m wondering why this happens.

Could environmental factors like light or humidity be affecting the material? Or are there chemical processes in the paint or coating that cause discoloration?

I’m particularly interested in possible aging processes of the material, since the shelves remain in nearly the exact same position with only minimal movement, yet the color still changes.

Does anyone have a well-founded explanation for why the color of Billy shelves changes over time? Are there perhaps differences between various surface finishes or production batches? I would appreciate your insights, experiences, or even technical explanations.

Colors on Billy mainly change due to UV light and dust deposits.

Simply avoid direct sunlight and wipe occasionally; this will help the color last longer.
