Material: ??? How well does Cypress keep its color

Hello all,

I'm wondering if anyone has used Cypress and can comment, does it turn dark over time in UV like pine does? I have access to some cypress siding that I could easily rip into strips, but I want to know what it's going to do after a few years of exposure. It doesn't change whether or not I use it, but it may change what woods I mate it with for accents and whatnot.

Thanks,

Malcolm
