It must be the lighting as it matched at Detroit.

the color match problem is NOT a color match problem , go look at a new camaro on the showroom . its a angle of the quarter panel vs the flat of the door .
just a optical illusion on the color

I agree Kenny and Marty. I've seen cars where the light hits the different contours of certain parts of the car and depending on the amount of pearl, metallic, etc that's in the paint, it refects differently in the light.

Here's a pic of some of the body mods done to the "Professor" Camaro. All the body mods were done on this car for function purposes. The engine cover is fully functional, bringing air in and louvered to let the air escape through the hood vents. The louver in the sail panel is a fully functional brake cooling system like used in Nascar. To reduce drag, the rear deck was raised, the front window was laid back, and the roof was lowered. Air for the front brake is brought in through the headlight. The car was built to be a fully functional car at high speeds.
