I'm wondering if anyone knows how long Red Heart can be expected to maintain its color before turning brown on the customer? Thanks for any input. All comments/critiques are welcome.

I have two pens made from redheart that I made about 18 months ago. Neither has changed color in that time. I had heard that once a finish is applied the red should stay permanently, but untreated wood should be kept in a dark place as it is really susceptible to UV. I finished one with CA and the other with oil-based poly.
 
Thanks, good to know. I finished it with HUT Crystal Coat. I had just heard that all these highly colored woods like Purple Heart and Red Heart go brown over time.
