This sums up my feelings as well. I have seen many backs of almost all T206 brands with variations in the depth of color. While not knowing the source and composition of ALC's black dye (or blue dye, for that matter), it seems much more likely that this represents a faded or poorly mixed dye lot, rather than a color variation planned in advance at the time of printing.
