Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Weird discrepancy in item description

I just noticed something weird, by comparing two half assed playthroughs I was playing in parallel.

I have the "Returning Pike" in both but for some reason in one it's marked as a "blue" weapon and in the other the same weapon is marked as a green one, despise both being identical in stats.
Both playthrough have been started this week, after Patch 5 released and before the last Hotfix 15, so it's not a matter of different versions of the game, either.

...Why is this difference even a thing?
I know that mechanically it isn't really changing anything, but it's bothering me on an irrational level that I can't point the reason for the different flagging.

Honour difficulty I assume?

There are several undocumented Honour Mode exclusive changes, one of them being that several merchant items which were really good and easily obtained for a Throw Barbarian had an increase in rarity.

Probably done so they're slightly harder to steal/buy in Honour Mode, because in Returning Pike's case the price of it jumped from 150 to 600 (x4) in Honour Mode just by increasing its rarity.

Yeah, it may very well be it.
One playthrough is Honor mode with a Paladin (bad idea, by the way) and the other is a custom one with a bard.
