These are lego 1x4 tiles I found in my collection, and I am struggling to find
the name of the colour for the piece in the centre. For reference I put next
to it a regular blue plate (TOP) an older yellowed blue plate (RIGHT and 2nd
from top on second pic), a dark green (LEFT) and a dark blue (BOTTOM). This piece
doesn't look old and I have a few more exactly like this. I can't remember
when or where I got these pieces..

I appreciate the help!

Brittle Blue or yellowed blue.

Brittle Blue or yellowed blue.

  Thanks! I don't see that listed as a selection for colours when ordering parts.. Is it a rare colour?

It's not that it's rare, it's that it's not an official color.
I think there is a market for brittle blue pieces but yellowed blue parts are
just blue parts that have yellowed over time.

"Brittle Blue" means the parts are of very bad quality. Actually the name explains
everything...

If anyone has a dark and distinguished brittle blue 3001, I'd be interested
in buying it.

Just a worst offender, though. I can live without a brick that doesn't look
all that different from blue (I've seen some examples that are pretty unimpressive).
