Morning!

I am struggling with some axle colours that I have in stock. The picture shows
what I think is yellow on the left and bright light orange on the right.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Best wishes

Rachel

I don't think there are any Bright Light Orange Technic axles listed in the
catalog, so it's probably a yellow axle, just a different shade. Colours
in parts can vary significantly.

I believe, based on my direct xp, Light orange axles means FAKE.
My xp: I have received 1 axle like yours in one order from a certain XXX store
in Germany.
Since the order had several fakes (all technic) it was easy to decide. Especially
after putting it near my other 50 yellow axles, it was clearly off the scale.
For reference I ordered one yellow axle 5L. Apart the colour, it was also opaque
like different plastic, no numbers on axle ends.
More fakes for same German seller/order here, with randyf authoritative comments
are here

You are wrong. Again, these are just bad examples of parts that are supposed
to be yellow. You do not have any Bright Light Orange technic axles.

I only want to say that there is parts produced by TLG which looks like BLO and
they are not fakes!

   You do not have any Bright Light Orange technic axles.

Yes, I don't have any. As well as from those listed above by me. I listed
them as yellow

Thank you for your perspective
I suspect yours are a "darker yellow" we seen in the past, not Light
Orange.
Anyway I liked your input, these examples show the confusion is even greater.
You may post pics with your parts and true Light Orange to show the point.
