If you are talking about the light green Masters I completely agree. I have some and for lack of a better description it seems "softer" or "not as dry" as the blue Master.

There is definitely a difference between blue and green. Like you and.ken said....green is softer ...or creamier. It definitely goes on the tip easier and adheres better
I know a chemistry student who, for a senior project, analyzed the formulation in numerous types of chalk including Masters and Pre-flag Masters. The only difference between the Masters was that the Pre-flag had a grit material that was actually harder than the grit material in the current Masters. And there is no lead in the Pre-flag.
I played someone on Monday that brought Pre-Flag with him. I had my normal Master chalk. He's just using it because he bought a gross some time ago. We both had our chalk on the table.
Every time I happened to pick up his I knew it immediately. It was much harder and didn't make as much of a mess as the new stuff. Sort of brought back some memories, actually, because it really was a pretty big difference.
It's just one data point, but the difference was clear and unmistakable. I don't think it really makes a whole lot of difference performance wise either way and I wouldn't spend money looking for pre-flag chalk, but it was definitely different. Maybe it was just old and very dry? I don't think so.
I kind of like Magic Chalk these days, just for the record. It's very clean and lasts a long time, so it ends up costing about the same as Master and makes less of a mess.

Speaking of colors, I think the red stains more than the blue. Maybe it's just darker/more noticible, but I feel like every time I use red chalk it gets everywhere. I think it's something in the dye.
I'm stocking up on pre-flag Magic Chalk.
It's already the "best chalk of the world" so I don't want flags messing it up
Yep, I've already stored several dozen boxes. So, in 15 years or so, I will be selling the old chalk, because it was made near the old Chernobyl Nuclear Plant. Plus, it glows in the dark as a bonus
^^^ Lookin at this,they changed it for the better,but I still use BD only !!!They claim to of not changed anything...?
Sky blue or masters blue... it's obvious they changed something..
