Maybe the hue is off, or its a different roast or beans, feels less coffee, more science murder mystery?

Brilliant!

                  This page intentionally left blank.

  (Well, not completely blank, since the above non-empty disclaimer
  appears on the page.  What is meant is that this page is devoid
  of meaningful content related to the rest of the document.  This
  page serves only as a separator between sections, chapters, or
  other divisions of the document.  This page is not completely
  blank so that you know that nothing was unintentionally left out,
  or that the page is not blank because of an error in duplication,
  or that the page is not blank because of some other production
  problem.  If this page were really blank, you wouldn't be reading
  anything.  This page has not been left blank by accident, but is
  left non-blank on purpose.  The statement on the page should say

         "This page was intentionally left non-blank".)

This seems like the sort of thing that happens when one repeatedly tweaks while using the previous iteration as a reference. It might feel like most iterations improve on what came before, but before long one loses the connection to the original reference.

I think Deming compared it to the telephone game.

    The recent project of the darktable developer to ansel shows this happening in other open source projects too.

yeah the color if off and you can see that it's obviously a vector graphic... it's kind of posterized

    I wonder if blurring the edges of the shapes within the stain might help make it look more organic

hard to judge on a screen how they will look printed

    Would you please print a copy and take a picture of the page laying on a wooden table and then copy/paste the result into a Word docx?

    It's the only way to know for certain.

First few stains look a bit poopy. And last one a bit murdery. None of them look very covfefe.
