This is especially frustrating with the most uncommon pieces in dark red. For those of you who don't know the differences, here's a link to an article that explains it well : https://www.newelementary.com/2019/05/has-lego-color-dark-red-changed.html?m=1 Since the original dark red and the newest dark red have a similar translucid effect, I think they should be in the same category. The dark red shade produced between 2009 and 2018 is more opaque and most importantly, more brittle. So I suggest a new category for this specific shade but I don't know how to rename it. Please give your suggestions. BrickLink does not differentiate between production differences within a single colour (154 New Dark Red).
