Michael - Because the color variations are too great. T206's that were placed in scrapbooks or tucked away 100 years ago will appear darker and richer in color than ones that have been well handled and worn but both will still be relatively the same color. The contrast in the light blue and dark blue Piedmont 42's is too great in my opinion (and I believe others) to have originally been the same shade of blue.
