Has dark tan been known to have color shifts or is this a new thing? These were
from a recent part out. It was noticeable enough that I could see it from 6
feet away in the bin with the other 1x2 bricks; several of them to boot. Color
sampling might be hard to read if I have to shrink the photos but left brick
sample taken inside that circle was 97/86/57 (RGB respectively) and the right
was 101/95/68.

seems most/all colors have variation these days

Terrible!

This is exactly what I was getting at. That is not worth the money that people
are paying for it. That is not a "luxury" product that demands a higher
price point. I started speaking with my wallet over the last few years. When
a product you loves gets worse over time, the only thing to do is pull your support.
Will others do the same? 🤷♂️

It is almost guaranteed that every single color that the LEGO Group currently
produces has variation from part to part. Buy any modern set with a reasonable
amount of one color in it and it is readily apparent that color issues are a
huge problem. It is one of the many downgrades in quality that have occurred
during the company's years of rapid growth (particularly the last 10 years
or so).
My son has some Halo Mega sets from a few years back and the colors across the
parts are very consistent, even in larger builds. To this day after having been
on display for as long as he has had them, there is no noticeable shift in colors
between parts or signs of fading/yellowing. Now, the plastic feels cheaper, but
the sets still look amazing on display.
I honestly think it is pretty embarrassing these days what the LEGO Group tries
to consistently pass off as a "luxury" product with so many prevalent
quality issues (colors, cheap feeling plastic formulations, molding defects from
improper cooling or plastic flow, cracking parts, etc.). The quality issues are
the main reason why I buy only a handful of sets each year any longer. (It may
come as no surprise that my money mostly goes to finding older sets to study
for catalog information. )

Remember the old Scooby Doo cartoons (anything Hanna Barbera really) where if
the color was a little off on something you knew that that was going to be the
brick they'd have to push to open up a secret passage?
I feel like if you made a wall out of these bricks you'd get the exact same
effect.
