They said it was just the way the sun was glaring on it.
I have driven it for a week and I am 100% unhappy with how it turned out, and I think that it looks HORRIBLE. I called them and politely expressed my displeasure and they said they would absolutely try to make it right for me and fix it. So I am going to bring it in on Tuesday (after the Memorial Day weekend).
My question to you guys... what should I do if they can't match the color? This car is over 7 years old and the original paint has obviously aged. Is it impossible to match this color, or am I just using the wrong place? Would a high-end body shop be able to match the color perfectly?
Here are two pictures so you can cringe with me:

Wanna986 is correct. They used the wrong color code variant.
