Is it me or do black mooring lines appear to go hard and maybe even a little brittle faster than normal whiteish ones?

There might be a tendency for them to harden bcs of increased insolation, but one would need to identify which of the many polywhatsits from which the offending ropes are made before being able to make a hard (geddit ?) and fast rule.

Not black, but I have dark blue. Still soft after >10years, although they get washed at the end of the season (washing machine, 30C mixed program).

I think dark colours absorb more UV than lighter colours. Not a problem in the UK.
