mismatch is due to yellowing of the older track, but I don't think so.
This mismatch isn't that bad. The funny thing is that rails themselves
are a more noticeable mismatch. The new shinny rail is much shinnier
than my older somewhat oxidized rails.

Bad form, replying to myself...

The more I hear about the new dark gray, the more I think that the color
mismatch I am seeing is just a slightly discolored old gray track being
compared to a fresh old gray track that hasn't dicolored.

Sorry for the confusion.
