Is there any consistency of fading by brick type, that could be explained by
different molding batch?
I have huge constructions of white and yellow bricks which were not consistent
from the factory. The 1x4s and 2x2s were obviously differently colored right out
of the box. Generally, they exhibited differing bluish tints when new (this is
particularly ghoulish on the yellow bricks.) Over time the distinctions have
become more obvious.

Thanks, that makes sense too. I wish I could replace these as this is a great
display piece. It is so large I have it on the patio.
