Silver color not mathing, is it just me?

So I posted couple of weeks ago about getting a used cpo c300 and I got one few days ago. I have a question regarding the paint, I have noticed on the silver color. The paint on the rear passage door looks different than the front passenger side, the car has never been in an accident and I have verified with a shop that it has never been painted, and I myself can usually tell if its been painted. But for some reason I can tell a difference, and this is not the first benz I have noticed this.. The old school E classes had this issue also, the front driver side was different than the rear. I am a perfectionist, and can tell easily what most people can't, I'm just confused, has anyone noticed it?

Since you are a perfectionist, you spelled "matching" wrong on the thread title. To answer your question, No, I've never noticed it.

Haha yes I did spell it wrong. Update on the situation, so I took it to a third shop after extensive research they did finally say that the car had indeed been painted and I wasn’t crazy. I returned the vehicle since I had a 7 day exchange policy and ended up getting the c class coupe. Here are some photos of the color difference.
