Oxidation, contact with another material that might have oils in them (plastic 
comes to mind, being made from petroleum) and age can discolor paint. Exposed to 
the elements or not.  it might be a crap shoot as to which would be the accepted 
answer to your questions.  Some folks even question the paint sample sheets from 
the manufacturer after 50 years of being in contact with other paper.
