Yes, paint varies.

Im sure most on this site are aware of the front clip being painted separately from the rest of the body, which sometimes results in not a perfect color match.

My 1965 GTO is an example of this. Although it’s difficult for the untrained eye to notice, I see the factory Mayfair Maize paint is a shade darker on the front clip.

Factory character from the Baltimore plant.

PS, check out the guy doing pull-ups with the sway bar.
