It's true that every time you order from Blurb, it goes to a different
printer/location so it is difficult  to get consistent results. Realize,
too, that the cost to produce these books are relatively cheap compared
to a better and more professional printing house so they may not put as
much effort into this as you want them to. They are catering mainly to
the mass consumer who wants good quality without spending hundreds of
dollars on one book.
Having said that, I have been pleased with the result of my warm-toned
book but my purpose in making it is to have a small portfolio to sell
people that can not afford the price of one print, and to also use as
promo materials.
Shameless plug for my book while I am here:

they have all looked great. Are you ordering with the premium paper? I
have re-ordered one about every few months and it looks the same each
time. Good neutral grays, good contrast. Order one for yourself and see
(yes that is a trick to sell one of my wife's books)
