It's not the color, at all.  They are extremely consistent as to 
size, hardness, plating (or not, as preferred)...virtually no 
detectable twisting of the pin when tuning, just a good, solid feel 
of the entire pin moving along it's axis at the same time.  Well 
worth the extra money, when available.  If Jurgen can get them, they 
are worth using.

Best.
