I'd bet part of why this happens on some of the more egregious 'offenders' (although it's arguable whether this is actually a problem or not) is the use of CSS preprocessors. It's a lot easier for a designer to add in one-off slight variations to a color when you have something like Compass or LESS's color manipulation functions.

The converse is that if you're not using a preprocessor, it's very easy to 'adjust' a color and miss a few instances of it.

  Search replace? :) Agree that if you've got well defined color variables setup the preprocessor route is potentially simpler.
