I understand that the color changes at different angles, but the change should be gradual as the angle (and plane) of the body changes. If the panels are on the same plane, then it just doesn't look right if there's a noticeable difference in color on each side of the seam.
1 picture is not proof of anything when lighting and angle of reflection are plausible explanations. Take a look at some other pictures of CGM. A shot from a similar angle to the picture you provided show a possible mis-match. But close-ups of the area in question show that there is no mismatch. Here's what I mean: two pictures of the same car, taken same day, with same camera, by the same person (me). The close-up is where the hood meets the facia and the fender near the corner of the hood.
