The lithography on T206s, Goudeys and Topps generally fade little naturally. If someone posted a Goudey in a shop window for a few years, sure it will fade, but these cards tend not to fade much. Even those shoe box 1950s Topps collections usually have nice colors ... Though I have also heard the the red can fade more than other colors on Goudeys.

If a card is missing a color, it will appear lighter.

As far as the Goodwin Dunlap goes, it doesn't appear as if it missed a color plate-- I believe all the colors are there, just not everywhere they are supposed to be. Perhaps the card got in contact with some solvent.
