Do the new Friends sets have a “different” dark red, and if so, what is it called?


I just compared some recently acquired some dark red 1x2 bricks (from the POB wall at Rockefeller Center) with some plates from an older Star Wars set and the color is slightly but noticeably different - the newer bricks have more of a “sand” tone that is not quite as rich as the older ones.



I think it’s a change in the color. TLG announced six new colors with the Friends line, but they were blues, greens and purples.

Hmm - That’s kind of annoying. Your picture shows exactly the same color difference as I’m seeing. So, I’ll have to just consider them slight variants of the same color. Luckily, they do not look bad together (and in fact, look a bit like variations in real-world bricks).

It would be interesting to pinpoint when the color changed. I don’t have any pieces except the new ones I can confirm a date for.
