when something turns into a lighter colour gradually, it is called 'fading'.
If you hang your clothes out in the bright sun, they will fade.
The sun had faded the bright blue walls.

dim, pale,washed-out are the other words that you can use .

I painted the wall dark blue, but on the top it dimmed a bit.
