I’ve only had four modern Dark Red parts break, but I don’t own enough old Dark Red to know if that color is as brittle. I separate the shades of Dark Red in my store, and I've built tons of '00s and '10s sets. In my experience, Old Dark Red can be brittle, but it's brittle far less often than New Dark Red from around 2010-2014 (which is the same period with very brittle Reddish Brown). Thanks to your store, I have confirmation that the cylinder quarters exist in both shades. The reformulation of this color coincides with the beginning of the brittle period, so my guess is that the darker ones in my 7665 are more likely to break under pressure.
