moulting and egg color

[the simple life]

I am wondering if someone can tell me, if you have a hen that lays a colored egg (such as green, blue, chocolate)
and people say that the color fades after a few months of laying.
If the hen goes through a moult and starts laying again, will the color return to the eggs?
I am thinking yes, but want to know for sure.

My 2 welsumers always lay their darkest eggs in the spring, after a molt, or after any break from laying that lasts for a few weeks.

I do believe that it gives their bodies time to build up whatever nutrients they need for the nice dark pigments.
