Color question: blue

FamilyBricks AT

Good evening,

Maybe somebody can identify the blue Color on the Right. Left side is standard blue Color.
Bricks have the same age and are fairly new, and It does not look like discolouration to me.
It ain’t dark blue either.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Gunny

I think the one on the left is blue and the 1 on the right is dark blue. Here is a dark blue and blue piece next to each other.

Thank you for your fast reply.

Ok, I’ve extended the picture:

Left is blue, right is dark blue.

What’s the middle one?

I would say ether it is faded or if you (or someone else) bleached it... that is the only thing I can think of...

I´ll keep them aside, quite a few of them

The middle one could be that older blue - there were definitely color changes over the years on that older plastic, I run into quite a few of those blues that no longer match real blue. Kind of like how older whites can go pink over time

I recycle those, just FYSA.

Looks like it could be brittle blue (not an official color name, just bad quality control by Lego). It's referred to as brittle because the pieces that look like that break easily.

Yeah I agree, brittle blue. There's a yellow version too which is duller and slightly darker than regular yellow.

The middle bricks look like older blue. We sort them out because they do not match any other color.

Thank you guys, I will sort them out as well.
