I bought these 2 cushions in a deep green for a small, iron patio bench on our open- air deck. It is in a sunlit area and I was concerned the cushions would fade or rain would cause them to mildew. We had a long, hot, rainy Spring and the color never faded and the cushions have not mildewed.i am impressed with the quality of these cushions and will be buying more next Spring.
