I have B&W (sepia) photos of ancestors here, 140 years old as far as I can
tell.

Will colour last that long.?

Kodachrome and most current E-6's will. Agfa Scala 200X will (a B/W transparency). A few E-6's are better than color negative, but have a lower archival life than the other Ektachromes. Color negative won't.
Caveat:  Transparencies *must* be stored properly!
