Pentel SG45...but the blue is too dark?

What gives here? All the blue SG45s I’ve seen are really vibrant, but this one is quite dark.

I have one of these. It is a denim blue. I also have the vibrant blues. I just sold this one that’s vibrant blue…

I’ll try to dig up my darker blue one.

So are we thinking these are just manufacturing differences?

They are very different blues.

That’s my take as well. Seems significant enough that they aren’t really the same pencil, but as far as I know, Pentel only acknowledges a single blue SG45…

As far as I know there is only the single Blue SG45C. There is also the Black SG45 that has a blue-ish hue to it, but AFAIK it is designated SG45A (Black).
