In a process known as oxidation, it changes from the mill-direct tan/salmon color to a deep, rich, reddish-brown color. The color change occurs in several days when exposed to direct sunlight. In indirect sunlight, the Brazilian Cherry will oxidize slowly over several months, with most noticeable changes occurring within three months.

Eventually, under the influence of light, the color will become darker over time before starting to fade after years of exposure to daylight.
