Hi,

I was sorting some pieces I from a new set, and I noticed that the 59349 trans-light
blue panel was noticeably lighter than the one from another set, which was also
new (Set 80109 vs. 60347).

I reached out to Lego, and they said that sunlight or cigarettes could cause
the color change... but these are both new sets, and I generally take care of
my pieces.

For my customers, how do I differentiate the panels that are "lighter" trans-light
blue and "darker" trans-light blue?

I feel like if I were a customer, I would not accept parts that had a mix of
the two.

Any input appreciated! Thanks!
Mike

[...] I would create two different items and specify that a buyer would be receiving different variants depending on which they decided to buy, in their respective descriptions. [...]

An image would be good but sounds like a slight colour variation.
