I don’t think you have to worry that much about verawood fading or turning brown. I’ve used it quite a bit: it starts out a boring sort of red brown when freshly cut, but then turns that beautiful green-blue slowly over a few months. I’ve never seen it turn back to brown. As a matter of fact it seems to become more green, a deeper hue, over time. Of course, all the stuff I make with it stays indoors, so I don’t know what it would be like outdoors. And you probably shouldn’t store it in direct sunlight – like anything else – but I don’t think you have to worry much about it fading.
