Why are some Kluson tuning knobs green and some are off-white/yellowish?

Hey, guy, I don’t use windows. I can barely use a Mac! I barely know computers well enough to post here. I’m old. The last time I worked was 30 years ago. Back then, there was an IT department well below my pay grade. So if I can’t take an iPhone pic and post it here, I’m just lost. But as to what a pic of my 61 SG LP Standard looks like, a pic of a reissue will be identical. I’m like the guy from “Spinal Tap” — “don’t touch or even think about that guitar”. I have 13 guitars bought new from 1961 to recently, and all are really mint. So that is all I have as to my 61.

On the subject of bridges and TPS, I have more to say, but I’ll save it.

The green buttons on my y2k r7 are just kinda ugly, something just not right about the shade of green. Work fine, just try not to look over there. Not going to change them, too much gas for the r9 that's going to happen.
I do like the look of the kluson plastic buttons, not getting any more green ones.

In terms of quality, it's probably for the best that Kluson today is manufactured by new owners, elsewhere than the originals. Gibson was well-known for "cheapness" in some aspects of their manufacturing, and modern aftermarket copies and upgrades seem significantly better to me than the originals. The trend for swapping Grovers in the replace Klusons was a fashion move for some, but based on actual performance. But as the originals had Klusons, we all have stashes of original parts that we hang onto so we can return instruments to their original, deficient condition if needed. Hang on to that collapsed bridge and those toxic tuner buttons! They're precioussss.
