Which is correct?

Other example could be: "If you print that photo, with the years the colors will be faded/fading"

I want to exprense how color or shadows will fade away with the time...

Yes, you could say "will be fading" if you want to stress the process. If you want to stress the result, I would say: If you print that photo, the colors will fade over time/ over the years. Or, you could say: will start to fade.
