Hello! I have gotten a large bag of all dark red Lego pieces, and I can see at
Least 2 different shades. Does bricklink have these two shades documented? Thanks

Cool! Thanks!

It's a pain in the butt for sure. I first noticed it while parting out 10
sets that had several 2x2 tiles of differing color consistency. The best option
I found was to list them as two different lots and specified the reason why in
both descriptions.

Just more colour variation but they are the same colour. Dark red has more significant
colour variation that other colours

Beware, some years of dark red are extremely brittle!
