The ones on the left are subdued, they have a feel of darkness. The ones on the
right have more bounce, with a hint of being translucent. The light seems to
be reflected back from the inside.
The smartphone image does not really grab the difference in tone and color. When
I first saw the ones on the left, I could not believe this was the same dark
red.
Parts on the right are 4 years older than the ones on the left. Still not sure
if they should be listed in the same lot, or two lots with some kind of description.

I can see the color difference easily enough. Are any of the dark red parts at
all brittle?

Not that I can tell. They just have a distinctly different brightness/darkness
of Dark Red.
They are both Dark Red, but the ones on the left are more likely to shatter under
minimal pressure. Old Dark Red from 2001-2007 has a more translucent
look to it, and as far as I know, doesn't suffer from the same kind of fragility
issues
as Dark Red from 2008-2018.
Both Dark Red and Reddish Brown underwent a reformulation process in 2008, which
I believe is to blame for the decade of brittle parts.
I'd definitely separate these when listing them. A note should be enough.

Some of the brittle issues are rumored to be a result storage of K8s of
finished parts in a warehouse, where the upper areas were too warm (possibly
Monterrey MX). There may have been formulation issues on top of that. I know
that the torsos for loc046 ( Furty ) had a failure rate exceeding 90%, and they
were dark brown.

Left one from 2010 set and right ones from 2006 set.
Looks like a color mix issue? I don't have when they switched to precoloured
in my permanent memory.

I believe it’s 2006-2008. Someone might know more than me, but I’ve seen a few
rough estimates mention those years.
