Goldbrokat Silk Color Change?

[The Violin Beautiful]

Has anyone else noticed a change in the silking on Goldbrokat medium E strings? When I bought my latest batch from my supplier I noticed that the color had changed to a yellow that resembles the color on the Gold Label E. The original color is a more pale yellow. The gold color wire wrapping at the peg end is the same, but the silk is a different shade of yellow (at least among the E strings I bought). Yes, I am sure they are genuine.

Not a big deal, but it caught my eye when I put the first one on and the difference is obvious if you compare an old string.

Yes, I’ve noticed the same thing with Goldbrokat E’s recently purchased in London. There seems to have been a change in winding colours.
