| I'm going to go with "Poor Quality Control Dark Blue" on this one.

tec means what on Bricklink is also called 'brittle blue'. It is basically
normal Blue, but changed in color by a degradation process. This is not necessarily
related to UV influence but is similar to the yellowing of white bricks.

| Me too - I really like the color though. And in most cases the discoloring is
really uniform all over the piece, not patchy like the white discoloring. I wonder
if there's a chance to list this as a separate color so they can be traded?
I've considered building something in brittle blue, as I said, I think it's
pretty. Probably not, right?

I doubt it — it's not a completely consistent color, there's a whole
gradient from Bright Blue to the darkest Brittle Blue. And sometimes Bright Blue
still decays into Brittle Blue over time — I once built a blue Tardis with half
the parts being Brittle Blue and didn't even notice until I took it apart
years later, when the color difference was stark!
Sellers can always (and SHOULD) put it in the description of course.
