I have heard that too, and I talked to Oscar Gaddy on that and he said no sunlight did not affect case colors. He and I had quite the discussion on this as I had seen two Parker shotguns that would have been 90% condition but the right side of each gun had faded colors and the bottom and left side had excellent bright colors. These two guns hung on a wall with the right side exposed to a south facing window for about 20 years, Oscar couldn't explain it but still said sun did not effect case colors, I don't take a chance and keep them out of sunlight unless I am using them.
I also heard (don't know if it is true) that Hoppes #9 can cause case colors to fade.
