snap in vinyl glazing bead

Question

It's from a (cheap) 1990 date construction. Windows are white but these (very brittle) glazing beads are beige or tan, possibly from aging? We are going to sell the house in a year or so. Only the bottom strips are in visibly bad shape. I do not want to replace all the strips, so best a tan color to match the remaining strips.

The shape of your glazing is very similar to our 55-158-6. Could this be what you want?

I'm afraid we don't sell it in tan, but it's entirely possible yours is decolored from aging like you theorized. The tan color option that manufacturers use tends to be darker than what you have.
