I’d have said it’s the number of studs (or ratio). Something like 50%+1 of studs
missing means it’s a tile, but some “tiles” have 50% of their studs and some
“plates” have less than 50% of their studs.
Plates:

Select parts, create submodel, that's it.
You can alway break one to update it, then recreate the submodel back again.

You can edit submodels without “breaking” them (“release” in Studio’s terms).
You can nest submodels (make a hierarchy of them), copy/paste them as if they
were just big parts, and many other things.

what causes this? From your scenario, it almost sounds like "batch" issues as
some in storage discolored while others did not.

There’s one reason for discolaration: degradation.
(And plastics degrade differently depending on their compositions, as we all
know because we all heard about the pre-2004 fire retardants that are often incriminated.)
But there are several reasons for degradation: UV, humidity, temperature, and
undoubtedly others.
The UV to which LEGO pieces are exposed generally come from the sunlight. And
as they are light, by definition they don’t hit in the shadow. So their effects,
besides being strong on some plastics, are easily noticed.
As for your parts, they may be from different batches. But their difference
in colour might not have been noticeable when they were brand new. They might
also have aged differently because of their composition. Or they may be like
other bricks in composition but still have aged differently because they weren’t
stored like others.

Simpler: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogDownload.asp , and choose “Colors”.
But OP wants parts too. So, on the same page, select “Part and Color Codes”.
That’s the table of (Part+Color) = LEGO’s ElementID (the code shown in the BoM
in official instructions).
That’s not a complete list but it’s pretty long (45000+ elements I believe).
(If there’s a code, then the part obviously exists or existed.)
Or you open the “Color Guide” https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp and
parse all the pages linked under the column “Parts”.

Congrats Marek!
I hope you won’t take the opportunity to add chitinous “parts” to the catalogue
