I was sorting some of my legos into colors and found a few pieces in a color
I’ve never seen before. It’s like a dark blueish green/ dark teal. I checked
the colors on Bricklink, and couldn’t find it listed. These are Lego brand.
I’ll include pics. Does anyone have this same color?

These are regular blue. Some blue bricks when they age turn this color.

Yes, you are right, I now see what parts it is and this is probably a lot of
discoloration due to the sunlight.

This discoloration is not due to sunlight, just the age of the bricks. They uniformly
turn this color, exposed to light or not. Just something in the dye that is causing
this. It mainly impacts a specific set of parts, over a specific set of years
that this was used.

It is a freaky cool phenomenon. I like to call it murky blue.

If they are uniform they are what some of us call 'brittle blue'. I've
got loads that I collect and there are other's out there who collect brittle
blue too.

Yea, it looks like brittle blue. It is the first chair that I have seen that
is not broken, so a pretty nice find!

I don’t think it’s due to age, or light. The inside of the brick is the same
color, with no discoloration anywhere.

That would explain away light, but I think the bricks are the same age on the
inside as the outside.

BrickBuy and Pippyblocks are right. It's "brittle" blue.
