I'm putting up plywood in the bathroom. I had bought a lot of plywood from Beijer that wasn't enough, so I went to the nearest lumber yard to buy a small 2500x900 piece that was missing. I was surprised by the color difference when I put it up. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and if it's common with construction plywood? The Moelven sheet was bought today.
 
  • Two plywood panels installed in a bathroom, showing color difference. The panel on the left is darker, branded 'Moelven', while the right is lighter.

There should be a product declaration on what you bought?

I can find what I bought. I thought k20/70 was the same.
The light one is Beijer's RAW, [link]
And the new one is Moelven Vänerply 04 k20/70 c/c.
Yes, but the store where you bought it should be able to provide a product sheet detailing what type of wood is used in the sheets because they seem to be different or is it an optical illusion?
 
Is it possibly a wet room plywood or an uncoated plywood?

I can't find anything about the species on RAW plywood but moelven has 98% spruce and 2% pine.
The reason for asking if it is unusual was more about whether the board has gone bad so one should put up a new one, but from what I could see at the lumberyard, the entire pile was the same color.

You should ask Beijer!
