Speaking as one that has a large number of years of writing on
stakes, the only material that will not fade in the sun and weather
is a carbon based black ink or crayon. Not just any black but it has
to have a high carbon content and the ability to stick.

I have found that many ordinary black colored inks are not colorfast
and fade as fast as the colored ones.
