Paint can darken over time due to several factors, including exposure to light, heat, and environmental pollutants. Ultraviolet (UV) light can break down the chemical bonds in pigments, leading to color changes and fading. Additionally, the drying and oxidation of the paint's binder can cause it to yellow or darken. Lastly, the accumulation of dust and grime can also contribute to a darker appearance.
