Is the top part dark pearl gold?
The middle is pearl gold and the bottom is white.

Technically speaking no. Both are normal pearl gold and it’s just colour variation
but it’s not that rare for the darker to be listed as pearl dark gold (even if
technically it isn’t that colour)

Would I list it in the same lot at the pearl gold or a separate one stating that
it is darker?

technically speaking you dont need a comment as its all the same colour but some
buyers may find it helpful if you add a note. pearl gold is the most noticeable
difference within 1 color but many colors have slight variations that most people
dont notice

I have seen a lot of the darker pieces become brittle after time. The darker
hilts all shatter with a tiny bit of force. I have a lot of C-3PO torsos that
the arms will break on them if you rotate them. Maybe just me but it could be
other parts as well.

mhm, the darker pearl gold seems to be more susceptible to being brittle than
normal pearl gold
