Quoted from Snux:I don't think our playfields have faded, I just think these plastics are darker.
Here is a post on the Announce thread that brings up a visual comparison of the F-14 blues and how they blue-shift:

The plastics were made to match a blue playfield, and the blue ink being half tint-based (partially transparent, backed in white) means they must be illuminated to hit the intended final color we planned for. (Pantone Blue C)
While I'm here, also need to mention that the F-14 playfield is NOT on CPR's playfield list. It may have been a long time ago, but a ton of things have changed. Stu never drew it, so we have no artwork. But I think the original films were in the IPB load. We're booked solid for years with our own titles and re-runs. So maybe another vendor or PPS can take care of it. Just wanted to wave the white flag. It's not us. It's not us.
