Yep, the deep, intense blue of the note on the right is normal for the earliest issues of polymer $10 notes. I believe the cataloguers call it the "blue Dobell" variety, and the later issue the "grey Dobell". Reference website. "Dobell", apparently, refers to the painter William Dobell who painted the portrait of Mary Gilmore which the background picture on the Mary Gilmore side of the note is based on. As I understand it, they made the switch because the intense blue tended to run and blur.
Keeper? Not unless its in particularly good condition. The "blue Dobell" was the first issue of polymer $10 notes, and many were kept in pristine condition by collectors at the time of release.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
