| Hello Bricklinkers
I’d like to consult the oracle over a colour mystery. I have got all my LEGO
stash out to check my sets and catologue missing parts, and when I opened 6206,
which was bagged up and in the original box, and had been kept in the dark, I
noticed that some of the blue pieces (specifically 4871, some 2x1 slopes, 4x2
plates and the 4x1 tiles) are a different blue. It is more like a greeny turquoise
type colour. I’m wondering what has gone on here. There is a small chance that
at some point these might have been switched with parts from my nephew’s collection
(it’s a long story) but I have searched on part 4871 and can’t find anything
that might have contained it in a greeny colour. Could it be fading? It’s seems
too uniform and too new of a kit for that, plus they have been stored in the
dark. Can anyone shed any light on this? I enclose a photo which I hope shows
what I mean. It’s not coming out as well as it does to the naked eye.
