solid colors have their own unique challenges too though. not like all reds or blues are the same either, for example.
with all the above


HONESTLY, the reason why it NEVER matches is because Nissan is g'damn LAZY, the bumpers are black... And they don't use enough primer and base coats... (Usually the paint is darker from what I've seen, not lighter... The OP's picture looks more yellow)
