Dollie Dream Flesh Skin Tone Differences

I have a DDH07 from 2012 and a DDSB (boy) body. There is a noticeable color difference. The head doesn't match the body well. I have a chest piece that matches the head well but it was damaged unfortunately. Ideally I would rather get a body that matches the head color. Does anyone know when volks changed the skin tone of their flesh tone dolls? Would I have any luck if I searched for a specific body model?

Thanks

The vinyl can yellow over time, so depending on how old different body parts are, there can be a colour difference.

I read that the manufacturers changed the skin tone over time. It got peachier. 

I'll probably just use the chest piece I already have. I'm not sure if there is a way to tell when you buy a part.

IIRC the most noticeable change to normal/flesh skin was around when Semi-White skin came out, which was around 2014. In parts kept out of sunlight, the before and after difference is pretty subtle. 

That said, it is true that vinyl can yellow--not as easily as resin does, but it can. I bought a secondhand (or technically third, maybe even fourth-hand) DD01 who was both stained and yellowed .. .gave her basically an all over stain treatment with hair bleach and it worked a treat at reducing her yellowing. You can also use hydrogen peroxide or the formula retro computer enthusiasts use, which they call Retro-Brite. This will reduce the yellow tint so the difference is less obvious, and/or can be somewhat hidden with sneaky blushing choices.

My dollfie dream head is not yellow, it is more of a neutral skin tone, so it's the older vinyl. 

I don't think the difference is subtle. It's definitely very noticeable to me. 

I'm planning on buying a new flesh tone head for the newer body so it matches
