I have the 2004 Atlas Grey and it did look slightly (very very slightly different) but the dealer said they were all like that.
Strangely when they readjusted the turbo vacuum hose someone dropped something on the front bumper and chipped it - when it came back from the free respray it matched perfectly !

it can in certain light
but I think that's the nature of metallic paint, particularly lighter colors. It's one of the reasons color-matching is so difficult for those who get their lowers painted.

Ditto...
I have noticed the mismatch on mine as well, primarilly the rear bumper where the plastic meets the body. In direct sunlight the rear bumper looks mismatched enough to make you think it has been repainted. Though not likely, it could end up an issue at the end of my lease depending on who does the inspection.
