About the Mayfair blue color of the repro Sharon lids, when I was pretty new to collecting, I was at a large flea market a couple of hours from home, and I spied a blue Sharon butter lid. The lady at the booth said when I asked her if it was new, "I bought it from an estate". I thought that meant it was old Depression glass so I bought it. I still have that lid somewhere, and I learned a lesson that her reply was neither yes or no. Lesson learned. That was probably early 80s. Sharon

I've seen differences in colors myself, mostly in Hazel Atlas. I would hazard to say
that slight/light color differences are common.
