| This is mainly for the colour fanatics here.
Had a largish haul of parts with a lot of Dark Pink bricks. Whilst sorting I
found quite a few sun damaged so just binned as I found them. But just had another
look at one and I don't think it is sun damage after all. It has totally
changed colour and completely consistent throughout. I would say this is the
same as the 'brittle blue' thing. Attached an image so show different
(photo doesn't quite capture it perfectly). Another one I'll add to
my ever-growing collection of weird Lego colours.

on my dark pinks I got in bulk ca 2010

| It's really interesting how certain colours do that. I'll keep a few
as I'm fascinated by lego colour quirkities.

The color Dark Pink was changed around the same time that the new grays replaced
the old grays in 2004. So there are two true distinct shades of Dark Pink:
LEGO color 22 Medium Reddish Violet (early Dark Pink)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14777415117/
LEGO color 221 Bright Purple (modern Dark Pink)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14988645798/
I don't know if this explains the difference in the color of your parts,
but I thought you should be aware of the history of the color.
Cheers,
Randy

| I managed to get both those colours in 2x4 bricks Randy, I had them for a while
until I realised the colour discrepancy. I think I looked at those Flickr images
before, it's afab resource place for obscurities.

I have never been able to tell the difference with certainty. I have bought parts
that must be one of the two colors because of the date the part was made. There
is so much variation that I could not tell them apart.

Beautiful. The difference is obvious if your eyes are able to detect it. It is
not as noticeable a change compared to the other color changes at the time (grays,
browns, light yellow to bright light yellow, etc.). Thanks for the nice photo.
