Over the long term the colors most prone to yellowing (due to sunlight) are
blue, gray and white. Of course with all the new Lego colors out, it will be
interesting to see which new colors also have this tendency (obviously those
that are different shades of the above mentioned colors are the most likely
candidates).
I have hundreds of old blue regular sloped bricks that have different levels of
discoloration (and since they are from the 60's thru 90's, different levels of
coarseness to the grainy sloped sides). These make for a great castle or
mansion roofs, since most real roofs are not perfect to begin with.
