| 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?

The hinge brick is definitely blue - it only comes in one shade of blue (if I've
selcted the right product from the catalogue), so that's got to be it. The
1x3 brick just looks like dark blue to me.
TBF the blue hing brick does look darker than normal blue, but that could be
due to bad light, camera etc.
Do you have any normal blue or dark blue bricks to compare these to?

Put the set number into the list inventory button and see if there are two different
blues listed. What set is it?

I realized the lighting in my house in terrible, I tried for many pictures and
think this is it. The set is 3854 The Krusty Krab, and it says there is a 1x3
blue brick and the blue 1x2 jumper. Both are this weird blue and its 100% this
color even inside the brick.

Yeah that's the set, I don't know where I got that other number from.
Trying to do to many things at once.

I had an issue with this set recently. Many of the bricks were brittle, thought
it was brown instead.
Brittle blue is usually from much older sets, but I think something weird happened
with that set.

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.

| Yes this is "brittle blue" for sure.
It fits the color, its fits the time period
