| I have seen this with the Bionicle parts. The Bionicle Pearl Dark Gray is greener
than other non-Bionicle parts. The browns are different and some of the trans
parts are off a bit too.
Just sell/buy the part as PDG, it will be fine.

| | Ok I have ran across another color issue, I have ran across this a few times
but this time both parts came from the same used set. Assume both are blue but
1 is discolored. Does anybody sell these or do they go in the scrap bin?

It is discolored from age. I think someone calls it "brittle blue". I have
seen this in my inventory, brand new blue bricks turned yellowish, inside and
out. I donate them to schools. Sometimes these blue parts will crack easily,
especially minifig torsos. It's not all blue parts, so some blue parts are
made with a different recipe?
Someone else talked recently that he opened a MIB set from the '90s had a
lot of blue pieces discolored.
It's a known issue, but I'm not sure if anyone knows why.

Are these current colors with Lego?
Thanks in advance!!

The light gray, dark gray and brown are older colors now discontinued. Reddish
brown, light bluish grey and dark bluish gray are the newer colors that continue
to the present.
The best way to distinguish between these colors is to use natural sunlight to
look at them. That may help you see it better. if you can't use natural light
you can buy daylight light bulbs at the store and that will help you see the
colors also.
If you're still having trouble using those sources to distinguish between
the colors you might want to ask a female person to help you distinguish them.
It is well known that women have more color cones in their eyes than men, so
they are able to distinguish between colors better than men.
Once you have examples of the different colors you might want to make a color
brick reference for yourself. This will give you something to compare to when
you're having trouble.
Don't beat yourself up over it, a lot of people have trouble with this.
I hope this is helpful,
