I'd argue that blue and brown don't really have a lesser faction - they have two factions that excel in different circumstances and are comparably competitive when those circumstances arise.You could make the same argument to a lesser extent with black, actually - the Alchemist niche isn't wide, but within it they can be just as dangerous as Darklings - if not more so. That said, the representation gap is something like 7:1 instead of the 2:1 for blue and brown, so they're certainly the significantly rarer faction if not exactly weaker per se.
