Recently, my son got a paint with water coloring book as a gift on an international flight. It was awesome! No mess, all the fun and satisfaction of a coloring book! I had never seen them before but apparently they’re kinda popular. I was just boggled and wondered how it worked. The colors were so vivid but they’re dying down. He still loves it!

My understanding is that essentially, the color is already printed on underneath the top layer, and when you “paint” it with the water, all you’re actually doing is turning the white top layer transparent.
That’s why they die down; what’s happening, is not that the colors are fading, but that the wet top layer is drying out, turning opaque again. If you paint over it again, the colors should brighten back up, because you’re turning the top layer transparent again.
