Which risk increased in Byzantine silk dyeing when Tyrian Purple pigment replaced imported murex?

💡 Explanation

Increased pigment instability leads to fading because chromatic degradation accelerates with unstable components affecting light scattering, therefore colours faded rather than remained vibrant due to impurities accelerating the degradation because the dyeing involved new elements.
