Here's a scan of the back. There are some markings which could be a sign that it was once glued into an album. That could quite possibly explain the color difference. It just doesn't look like fading to me. The dark blue right above the grass looks like it's missing a tint. The entire card does actually. Would red be the final pass even on a card that had no red coloring (with the exception of the lips)?

Desiderata
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
