Family Tree Colorful Portraits

What does it mean, after you pass away and your portrait still has color. I notice theres 4 stages of color to the portraits. It starts with it being super colorful then the next stage it starts to fade away. What does it mean?

Ever seen an old photograph, or that scene in memento where the Polaroid picture fades in reverse?

Something like that.

It's another reminder of how the individual agents of the past may be forgotten, but their contributions to the present are still felt through their works, in what were, their presents.

You can take that analogy back 100 years, 10,000 years, or 4 billion years, depending on how deeply you wish to think about it.

As for exactly at what point the picture changes, from one stage to the next, I haven't the foggiest idea, if, that is what you were truly wondering.

Re: Family Tree Colorful Portraits

I always thought that the colors were going away when the whole family line became extinct.

This seems to be the case.

That's what I thought so as well. I was just wondering if this was true!

It's just time.  How long ago you died determines how faded the picture becomes.

Like Jason Rohrer just said, it's just aging of the picture. How long ago the person died determines how faded the picture becomes.
