As I have commented before- At least as long as I have been dealing with LEGO
bricks, there have been variations in the color. But, I polish almost every
brick I use in my little engraving business and one can see the variations more
clearly when polished and inspecting under bright light. But overall for a toy
brick, I have a hard time complaining. There is also color change inherrent in
ABS plastic and some of the older blues tend to the greener side due to the
yellowing of the plastic.
Yellows for me seem to have the worst control- as some tend to the green side
and some towards the red side. These actually clash with each other and I find
myself constantly sorting bricks to make sure the badge for example has the same
color.
But all colors have slight variations in them. The key to living with it is just
don't look too hard.
But then again--I see colors better than most as was trained as a color matcher
for a paint manufacturer. And trust me--color control is one hard bugger to get
a handle one. In paint it is much more critical than in plastic blocks.

| Interesting points raised. As to LEGO quality not decreasing, and us just noticing it… I don’t buy that at all. I don’t ever remember stacking new bricks (even a few years ago) of the same color atop one another and seeing clear color differences. (...) (17 years ago, 12-Feb-08, to lugnet.color)
