I bought two red Xpods, and when I compared the red plate hinges of the Xpods to
my other red bricks, I noticed a slight difference - the Xpod red was more
orange than the other red bricks. The difference was not big, but easy to see up
close. Unfortunately, I mixed the Xpod bricks into my collection before I
thought about comparing the rest of the red Xpod bricks to my other red bricks.

Could this be another, permanent, change, or did I get bricks from a "bad"
batch? Has anyone else noticed a change in the red colour?

I have examples of color variations going all the way back to 1957, in Cellulose
Acetate.  Red macaroni bricks sometimes came in a darker red, as well as the
orange-red that Cellulose Acetate is known for.  So this is a situation that has
been going on for decades, just not continuously.
