Greetings,

I have a couple of torsos that I think are

 
Part No: 973pb0906c01 Name: Torso Open Jacket Hoodie with 4 Buttons over Medium Blue Sweater Pattern / Orange Arms / Yellow Hands
* 		973pb0906c01 (Inv) Torso Open Jacket Hoodie with 4 Buttons over Medium Blue Sweater Pattern / Orange Arms / Yellow Hands
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

however, the underlying sweater pattern looks sand blue to me instead of light
blue. Is this just normal color variation?

Thanks in advance.

I have one of
 
Minifig No: cty0473 Name: Orange Jacket with Hood over Light Blue Sweater, Blue Legs, Dark Orange Short Tousled Hair, Crooked Smile with Black Dimple

Minifigures: Town: City
and the shirt is toward the sand blue shade,
but not quite. I think this is an result of the lighting in the picture for
this part. You should be good to go.

Thanks! I listed a minifig and it unsurprisingly got deleted as my description
implied that I had swapped out one torso for another: "sweater pattern appears
to be sand blue rather than light blue"

The Bricklink Color "Light Blue" was out of service years before this part came
out. The person who wrote the description for the part was just using general
color description. It probably should have said sand blue, but a lot of people
don't bother to track down exact colors.

Thanks for the background information! I guess "light blue" was just being descriptive
rather than trying to name an exact color. I guess my confusion was due to the
fact that sometimes exact colors are named - e.g. minifig heads with "dark orange"
features
