Hello,

I was recently parting out
 
Set No: 41732 Name: Downtown Flower and Design Stores
* 		41732-1 (Inv) Downtown Flower and Design Stores
1976 Parts, 9 Minifigures, 2023
Sets: Friends
and was noticing that there was a noticeable
difference in the colour for many of
 
Part No: 3622 Name: Brick 1 x 3
* 		3622 Brick 1 x 3
Parts: Brick {Bright Light Blue}
Some were more yellowish
and slightly paler than the others. It was hard to photograph the difference,
but the best one I got is below. I am not familiar enough with this colour to
know if it is a common occurrence. I do know that Lime Green has a problem like
this, as well as some Light Bluish Grey in the early 2010s, but my knowledge
doesn't extend much past that. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Alizarin

There are color variations in *all* LEGO parts made these days. It started after
they switched to blending their own colors instead of buying pre-dyed plastic
pellets. It is just something you have to unfortunately live with so that LEGO
can save some money.

Cheers,
Randy

Thanks so much for the info Randy, I wasn't aware that LEGO had started to
do that. The more you know. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything
wrong before I list them for sale. I will add a note to the listing to make it
clear though.

Thanks again,
