Bumpers never match the car 100% because of the difference in materials. Look at any brand new car in direct sunlight, the bumpers won't match. Some more noticeable than others but I assure you there will be a slight color difference.

Some body shops will take the color code and mix that up, spray a sample, compare it with the car, and add whatever is needed to get the correct usually sun faded color. However, it's obvious that they don't do that.
