Question Slight colour differences on new WR blue cars?

Anyone else noticed that the bumpers & scoops look a slightly different colour to the metal parts on WR Blue MY05's.
Might just be a couple I've seen or could be 'Normal'????????

Well, I have a MY04 STI and the plastic parts are a perfect match in most lighting conditios. When its very sunny outside though the top of my rear spoiler appears a bit blotchy in places when its in my garage. In bright sunlight outdoors the bonnet scoop also looks slightly blotchy, but the paint match is perfect.

Its quite common to get very slight differances when comparing paint on plastic surfaces and metal surfaces. Silver I'm told is a hard colour to get a 100% colour match. Honda had a probem with this 2 years ago with silver CTR's.

Seen a couple of brand new ones with the fog covers definitely a slightly different shade to the bumper (both of which are the same plastic?).
Seems a bit odd.
