Color Loss 0

[USCMitch]

In reviewing my copy of Moon Knight 1, I noticed that there is some faint color loss in the blue background of the front cover. It appears like it could be due to transfer. This led to a few questions:
1) Having no other copies in hand of this book, is this a common phenomenon with the solid blue background?
2) What is the grade ceiling for a book with this degree of color loss?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Keep in mind that this cover seems to have been printed in a wide range of purple hues, wear or light-exposure related fade not being the issue if comparing just very high grade examples. I've seen them ranging in hue from lavender like this, to deep plum purple and even with mixed shades leaning towards dark blue rather than purple, these variations of purple and blue colors not affecting the other cover colors like one would expect from light-exposure fading.

Wrong.  

The blankets need to be washed since they are dirty.

Just a random sentence about blankets being dirty interjected for absolutely no reason? 

Very cool! Let me take a whack at it. 

Roses are red, violets are blue. It's rabbit season! Thank you very nice! 

How was that? You're up.

I know. 

  

And also, MK1 seems to be a very popular brick and mortar store wall book. I've seen them with all manners of obvious sun/light/heat fade.

I don’t see the color loss on my copy. Top left is just light glare.
