does black computer case/plastic fade/change color?

[OS]

I have an MS elite keyboard which is ~5 years old, it works ok still, but the keys have turned into that ratty 286 yellow color. Does the black colored stuff hold it's color better?

No.

My case has faded a bit after a few years exposed to the elements.

I have a black keyboard that I've been using 40+ hours per week for two years - no change. However, it does show dust and crumbs worse than the putty colored boards.
