Anyone knows anything about that color? Is it mistake by Lego or some kind of
attempt. The color is close to blue, but completely different. Its not yellowed,
because the color is the same underneath.Its very beautiful by the way

Possibly brittle blue - not sure with the lighting.

It is known as "Brittle Blue"

Bad quality bricks that degraded over time. If you try to use them, they break
very easily.

(There are collectors for those pieces)

I list them as 'vintage shade of blue' and collectors do like them. (The
same goes for Dark Red too although it's a less noticeable difference.)

Thanks all for replies. Is seems they are "Brittle Blue". Very beautiful and
also so fragile. I like them
