Help!

Sorting studs thought they were all TLB but they're not. Are the ones on
the right Trans Medium Blue with the TLB on the left?
I understand its hard to tell from a photo but TMB seems to be the only fit.

They look trans medium to me (ones on right) It's my favourate trans colour,
I think it sticks out.

Thanks but Arghhhh! I just found some TMB parts and they don't match, so
in this photo it's TLB on top TMB on bottom and the ones I thought were TMB
in the middle which clearly aren't. Could they just be a off TLB?

Yes. Transparent colors aren’t always the most consistent. You could also try
putting these studs under a UV light, as TMB is actually just another neon color
and will glow under said light.

Ahh I did not know that thank you, if only the children hadn't lost my UV
torch I bought for other neons...will have to purchase another.

Yeah that's a better shot, looks like TLB. I collect colour and varients
of colours and just checked my TLB for 1x1 studs and there are quite a few I've
collected from lighter to darker shades, definately not that consstant. Good
idea about the UV light, definately a tool worth having. Fun too lighting bricks
up in the dark

I used one for other Neons in the past and it worked great, orange, green etc
but didn't realise TLB worked too so just ordered another torch of the wicked
people...

Trans-Medium Blue glows under a UV light, while Trans-Light Blue does not. Some
frosted parts do glow under a UV light, but they aren’t too common. If you want
to look at some other neat reactions to UV light, try putting Coral, Neon Yellow,
Trans-Bright Green, and Trans-Orange under a UV light!

Trans-Light Blue has been a lot bluer for the last year or so.

Trans med blue for sure is hard to tell but the more lighter it probably is.
