| Hi
I have purchased a number of part 3626cpb0877, however the ones I have purchased
seem to be a different colour to the one I already have.
I’ve attached a photo. The head on the left is the one I personally took from
a set (pearl gold), the one on the right is one which I purchased recently.
The one on the right is clearly a different colour so I have a few questions
I am hoping someone might be able to help with -
1. Are there any known issues with differences in pearl gold colours?
2. If this is a misidentified colour, what colour could it be?
3. Could this be printed. It’s a fairly rare part?
Appreciate your time and support on this
Gary

1. Are there any known issues with differences in pearl gold colours?
Yes, absolutely.
In my experience Pearl Gold the worst offender for colour variations (closely
followed by Dark Red, Dark Blue and White).
I even have a set of the gold legs from the figure you've pictured where
one leg varies significantly from the hips and other leg!
I refer to the darker version (as per the head on the right) as "flat gold" but
there is no differentiation of the various shades on Bricklink or Lego.
It's particularly frustrating as a seller if someone orders multiples of
a pearl gold part and you have to send them a mixture of hues because you don't
have enough in either variation to fulfill the order.
