Color discrepancy between dash and center console

[BYEPOLR]

Anyone else have a sizable variance in color where their center consoles meet with the dash? I guess I never paid attention but a quick search tells me it’s more common than I thought. Here’s a couple examples....

Yep, it's been pointed out to me by car show judges, many times.

I've had a ton of these cars and I feel like I just now noticed this. Is it worse on some than others?

^^^^^It is very noticeable in my car.

mine's just as bad. I don't get how that happens and makes it past ford quality control lol

^^^^^It was the end of the line for these cars, so they just slapped whatever they had left, into them.

To be fair I guess it isn’t new. The black and even the beige SN95 interiors have pretty noticeable differences

I hope I forget about this thread when I pull the cover off my Cobra, what has been seen cannot be unseen kinda deal for me.

Two different kinds of plastic and the parts made by two different suppliers.

Yes, both of my cars are like this.

Yeah mine has that going on also, not as extreme as yours though.
I never noticed it in my 94-95 cars, but it may have been there.
When I first started looking at Terminators I saw one like that and asked the guy if he had replaced his center console for some reason lol

No "good" reason why the pieces couldn't/shouldn't match. Even if multiple suppliers are used. Same scenario as a part supplier change in the middle of a MY. Quality control is either a high priority, or its a lesser priority. JMO.
