Yes, WDP and SSM are notorious for having their bumpers a different shade.

Most of the mismatches I see appear to be darker than the body.

A slight mismatch that is not immediately noticeable is within auto industry standards for bumper to adjacent parts. The WDP pearl issue is clearly NOT within that standard, but Honda does have a low standard when it comes to paint.
