IIRC, it has been strongly speculated that the American flags left by Apollo 11 and the other missions are no longer red white and blue, but have become stark white. Bleached of all color by the harsh solar wind and extreme temperature variations over the better part of fifty years.

I can live with the thought of the lunar flags being bleached white by time and the elements but if some Soros funded urban yute has burned them, I’ll be pissed!

It would be really useful to recover many of these items to study the type and level of degradation.
I would think the Red was the first to fade.
