Paint longevity vs. color?

I'm shopping for a 9-5 to replace my mother's '99 that was sent to an early grave by a collision.
She likes to keep cars a long time which prompts the question: in 9-5's are any particular colors more resistant to fading etc. than others?
She seems to have taken a liking to silver, and I remember many years ago people saying to stay away from silver because the paint doesn't last. Just wondering if there's any truth in that, and/or are there any other colors to avoid?
Thanks!
Eric Law
