Do the stock PETG parts fade in the sun?

This might sound like a stupid question, but here it goes: my printer sits in a room with a lot of (nice) direct sunlight? Should I expect the stock printed parts to fade? Just wondering as I know some filaments are move UV sensitive. I bought the black parts.

Things you should know about PETG

PETG and copolyesters themselves are UV and weather resistant, so the parts are going to stay strong and usable outside, but the color might fade after a while in the sun.

That's "MISTER Old Fart" to you!
