Depends on when they were made. New orange drops are great -- I use them in restoration all the time. Dipped mylar caps from the 1950s and 1960s are starting to show their age, though. If you look at my CTC-7 article, you'll see photos of it coming to life as more and more of them were replaced.

In addition to maroon, I have seen old mylars in blue and green.
