Default Touch-up Paint fading.

I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem with the factory touch-up paint. I have painted over a few chips and over a few months the color has faded to a light pale yellow. What is the cause of this and is there a better brand of touch-up paint to use?
Thanks

^^ I took a look at that link and it has some good info. The difference is, my color from the touch-up bottle is almost a perfect match (as close at it can be), when I first put it on, a few months later it is pale. I guess it could be just the effects of the sun on the touch-up paint. I am thinking the touch-up is different paint that what they paint the car with due to the pearl.
