Do King headset colors fade over time?

Not that I've ever seen. Besides that, King has a 10 year warranty that is so good they'll let you exchange it even if you don't like the color.

I have had a black king hs for 7yrs and looks new. It has seen a lot of action and is perfect.

I guess the only reason I ask is because I've seen the Pewter hs in a bunch of different colors - from a charcoal black to kind of a purple. just curious ...

Heh. It's probably due more to the anodizing batch than any kind of fade. My "pewter" headset is actually a light purple. Have you seen them in person or in photos? The reason I ask is sometimes a picture doesn't tell the whole story.
