A method for forming a molded article, comprising: combining a polycarbonate resin, a colorant, a UV absorbing component and a heat stabilizer component to form a mixture; and forming a molded article from the mixture by molding the mixture under abusive molding conditions, wherein the molded article, when tested using a 3 mm color plaque, comprises a color difference delta E (dE*) of less than 0.6 following molding under abusive molding conditions as compared to a reference article molded under standard processing conditions, wherein the polycarbonate resin is produced from a bisphenol A polymer having a purity of at least 99.70%, an endcap level of at least 98%, and which contains less than 2 ppm sulfur, wherein the colorant is selected from the group consisting of 1,8-Bis((4-methylphenyl) amino) anthraquinone, 1, 4-Bis((2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)amino) anthraquinone, 1,4-Bis(mesitylamino) anthraquinone, (29H,31Hphthalocyaninato(2-), 6,15-Dihydroanthrazine-5,9,14,18-tetrone, and combinations thereof, wherein the UV absorbing component is selected from a benzotriazole compound a triazine compound or a combination thereof, wherein the heat stabilizer component is at least one of a phosphite, phosphine or phosphonite compound, wherein the abusive molding conditions comprise a maximum molding temperature of at least 330°C at a residence time of at least 10 minutes, or a maximum molding temperature of at least 340°C at a residence time of at least 6 minutes, or a maximum molding temperature of at least 350°C at a residence time of at least 6 minutes, or a maximum molding temperature of at least 360°C at a residence time of at least 3 minutes, wherein the standard processing conditions comprise a maximum molding temperature of 300°C at a residence time of 6 minutes, wherein a reference article refers to an article including the same components and same amounts of those components as the article molded under abusive conditions, wherein the delta E is determined in accordance with the method disclosed in the description. combining a polycarbonate resin, a colorant, a UV absorbing component and a heat stabilizer component to form a mixture; and forming a molded article from the mixture by molding the mixture under abusive molding conditions, wherein the molded article, when tested using a 3 mm color plaque, comprises a color difference delta E (dE*) of less than 0.6 following molding under abusive molding conditions as compared to a reference article molded under standard processing conditions, wherein the polycarbonate resin is produced from a bisphenol A polymer having a purity of at least 99.70%, an endcap level of at least 98%, and which contains less than 2 ppm sulfur, wherein the colorant is selected from the group consisting of 1,8-Bis((4-methylphenyl) amino) anthraquinone, 1, 4-Bis((2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)amino) anthraquinone, 1,4-Bis(mesitylamino) anthraquinone, (29H,31Hphthalocyaninato(2-), 6,15-Dihydroanthrazine-5,9,14,18-tetrone, and combinations thereof, wherein the UV absorbing component is selected from a benzotriazole compound a triazine compound or a combination thereof, wherein the heat stabilizer component is at least one of a phosphite, phosphine or phosphonite compound, wherein the abusive molding conditions comprise a maximum molding temperature of at least 330°C at a residence time of at least 10 minutes, or a maximum molding temperature of at least 340°C at a residence time of at least 6 minutes, or a maximum molding temperature of at least 350°C at a residence time of at least 6 minutes, or a maximum molding temperature of at least 360°C at a residence time of at least 3 minutes, wherein the standard processing conditions comprise a maximum molding temperature of 300°C at a residence time of 6 minutes, wherein a reference article refers to an article including the same components and same amounts of those components as the article molded under abusive conditions, wherein the delta E is determined in accordance with the method disclosed in the description.
