maybe they used a different film to tint that window. I would take it back to have it redone.

mine was the same, shop ran out of tint and mistakenly but different one on driver's side. Retinting helped.

Just make sure the film is the same brand as used on the other windows. Another thing I can think to cause color variance might be the film coming from a different roll, although the same brand. Check to see that the color matches after the adhesive cures.
