Putting the “POP” back in liners?

On the knife I am currently working on I have some green G 10 liners and I’m noticing as I am sanding the wood to its final grit along the spine the liners are losing their pop color wise. Is there anyway to bring that pop back out?
 
In my experience they “fade” during sanding but when you hit 600+ grit they get better. When you apply your finish (tru-oil) the color should be back in full. If it is worrying you spray it with a little rubbing alcohol and you should see true color again.
 
Or if finished hit with a little thin super glue. It will brighten it and also seal the fiber from absorbing anything.
