FADED

Bleached out

• Became dim

• Became fainter

• Bet against

• Dimmed

• Dims

• Disappeared gradually

• Dropped back after a promising start

• Dropped from the leader board

• Gradually disappeared

• Grew pale

• In need of a new coat

• Less colorful

• Like aged blue jeans

• Like broken-in jeans

• Like old jeans

• Like old photos

• Like some jeans

• Like well-worn jeans

• Lost brightness

• Lost color

• Lost luster

• Lost vitality

• No longer bright

• No longer sharp

• No longer vibrant

• No longer vivid

• Old, say

• Sun-bleached

• Vivid no more

• Washed out
