| Hi everyone,
I bought a bulk of unsorted bricks, but I need help to identify the color of
two parts that seems that aren't molded in any existing color: in my photo
are the 2x6 plate (3795) and the inverted slope (52501).
The tile at left is in blue, the wedge at right is in dark blue
Thanks in advantage

| It's probably very brittle now, right?
These were originally just blue.
Blue parts that change to a somewhat greenish blue tend to be really brittle
and easily snap when slightly flexing them. That is at least an observation I
made several times.

I don't think they are discolored or yellowed because also the underside
and the sides are in the same color and they are solid as they are new.
I noticed that the slope has a damage on the back like someone has been "sliced"
it and inside the color it's the same

yep, it’s “brittle blue”, made sometime between 2005 and 2010. These aren’t yellowed
in the normal way; there’s something about the chemical composition of that era
of bricks that causes them to darken and become brittle (which is why the corner
of your slope shattered). It would have looked like normal Bright Blue originally.

| I agree with novabrick and rylie_aitch; those parts are "Brittle Blue."
