These two parts in particular come to mind as being a very different color
blue:
Plate 1x2 with Arm

Bracket 1x2 - 1x4
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=2436
I have quite a few of both of these parts and they are a noticably different
color of blue when placed adjacent to other blue elements. There is one
more piece that is also a different hue but I can’t recall off the top of my
head which one it is.

Perhaps this one, I have a bunch of these in blue that are a shade too light:
Brick 1 x 1 with Handle
I have many of these in yellow with a sickly green tinge:
Technic Liftarm 2 x 7
with 2 Ball Joints
And, here’s an example of opaque and translucent dark blue:
I had a hard time convincing anyone at BrickLink that translucent dark blue
existed, so I am led to believe that I had a bad lot of the opaque dark blue
(and not just one type of part, mind you, several types of parts exhibited
the translucence).

Mark,
Would you believe that I have multiple of the same part ( Technic, Liftarm 1 x
7 with Fan, p/n 32177) which came from R2-D2 that exhibit both of the shades
that your picture shows above. I’m not convinced that both colors exist so much
as the quality control on the dark blue (or navy blue) was all over the place.
Without question, it was the widest variation I have ever seen in parts coming
from the same set in the same year.
The best way I characterize the difference between these two colors is like
this... I just held one of each part up in front of a light bulb. The more
translucent one allowed light to pass through while the other one (the darker
navy blue) allowed no light to pass. There is that much difference. Perhaps they
really are two colors and someone at the factory used the wrong ABS.
