Is it true that dark colored water base paints have longer service life in comparison that light colored water base paints?
Yes, it is possible. Even if all application factors are equals, the durability of the dark colors is seems better in “earth colors” (such as ocher or red colonial) in comparison to light colors that contain a portion of titanium dioxide which contributes, in certain degree, to the “alligatoring” in long term.
