Discolored materials

Discolored materials are objects or surfaces that have changed color from their original appearance, often due to exposure to environmental factors. This can happen from things like sunlight, moisture, chemicals, or aging, which cause chemical reactions or deposits on the material. For example, metal might develop a patina, or fabric may stain or fade. Such discoloration can indicate deterioration, contamination, or simply the material’s natural aging process. Recognizing discolored materials is important in assessing the condition, durability, or authenticity of an object or surface.
