I agree, I find white suffers most from scratch's which then fill with dirt.
That makes them look really bad.

I know the blue problem all too well, I noticed when assembling a wall of
old and new blue bricks the green tinged old one's stuck out like a sore
bum. I reckon keeping bricks out of the light would slow down the
discolouration. Light is always blamed for these sort of things.
