Bumper Color Mismatch?

Wondering if any of you guys with Oxford White have bumpers that are slightly off in color compared to the rest of the steel body? I know a lot of the Performance White guys have reported bumpers that were noticeably darker than the rest of the body, wondering if this affects Oxford White as well?

TIA.

I have performance white and is a perfect match all around. Keep it washed and waxed and you will not have issues.

I saw a 2014 Oxford white that was very, very noticeably different. I had a Performance White 2010 and I could see that difference, too... but not as bad as the '14.

We've noticed, particularly with Performance White & Oxford White slight color hue differentiation of factory painted body panels - particularly at the rear quarter panels to rear bumper transition. Some times when we install aftermarket items such as window louvers, etc. in light colors we notice some slight difference and do re-spray time to time.

Our School Bus Yellow Boss 302 has a very slight color difference at the transition between the rear quarter and the rear fascia. Can really only notice in the shop under florescent lighting.

Bumpers are all outsourced now. There might be some variations but hopefully not much.

I believe its the materials of the panels themselves causing the variation of hues. Plastic my have an effect not seem on metal or fiberglas for example
