For example, would a black or dark bluish grey brick today be the exact same shade the same brick had 20 years ago or more? I know there are different types of shades for colours like blue or grey, but a brick listed as being dark bluish grey today and one listed as being dark bluish grey in the 90s or 2000s are the exact same brick, right?
