I have Champagne, there is very little difference at the moment.
My previous Civic (52 reg Aqua Green) was much worse, the bumpers were quite a different shade in any light.
In the past the cars were painted with all the body parts attached, so any variations between batches of paint would not show.
Nowadays I think the bumpers and other bits are painted separately, which is why the painting quality can vary as well as the colour.
It is also the reason why you can buy pre-painted body parts.
