Touch up paint goes bad?

I've had two bottles of Mercedes brand touch up paint end up noticeably darker a few years after buying them. Anyone else have this problem?

This is how it matched when I bought it.



This is what it looks like now. I removed old clear bra from this wagen because it was cracking and yellowing and it ripped some paint off. Decided I would try touch up and sanding before taking it to the shop.


Old tube and new tube.





I'm posting here because W463 forum is more active with threads about brand new wagens than caring for older ones and my R129 is the same color as my wagen.

Thanks
