What's the reason that alkanolamines change their color at storage?

What's the reason that alkanolamines (e.g. monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine) of technical purity change their color (from colorless over yellowish to red-brown) at storage?

Is it because of oxidation, or UV-light?
