Mine was the same, which is weird.
I've just compared them with my 928, which has just come out of a sealed
box, so I know the parts are genuinely about eighteen years old.
One is the right colour, and the other is darker, but neither of them is
as solid a colour as the old plastic.
Have you also noticed how a lot of new bricks seem to be slightly
translucent?
If you look at the picture of the 8448 in the box insert Technic
leaflet, you can see light shining through the red crank beams on the
front of the car.
I think they are reducing the amount of pigment in the plastic.
