How can I keep this grass paper green?

Hello! I've been making paper made from grass for some time now, and discovered that after sometime if the paper is exposed to any kind of light and air, it turns yellow (even if it's normal indoor lights)

These papers were made February, and they've retained the green color because they've been covered this whole time. I want to start using the paper but I really want to keep the green color - is there any way that could possibly be done? I'm based in Dubai, so I might not have access to some specialized archival varnishes or sprays but I can try to get some if it's a common brand.

Any leads would be much appreciated! <3
