I seem to remember stucco on older northern homes had color mixed into the concrete.
I went eight years on the builder's cheap paint, then had it repainted with a better grade paint because the original paint faded badly. It has been six years and it looks great. If and when you repaint, don't use flat, instead do satin finish because it is easier to keep clean and hose down.
