They are not supposed to match. With colored interiors, different materials have different color shades.
I agree. Lets face it, all of the plastic was not molded or made at the same time. Lots would vary and more than likely, they had more than one manufacturer which would also more than likely have a different shade.
Same holds true for all of the black painted parts in the engine compartment.

but they are way off.
They were way off when new also. There was no intent, ever, that every single interior shade would match each of the others exactly.

I would leave them alone, it will look fine. That type of plastic releases oils and paint wont adhere very well and may flake in time. You can get away redying 40 year old panels that have dried out but even those tent to scratch very easily. Scott from Harms can chime in on the properties of plastic.

You have several choices to make, either return everything, and search for clean original stuff, or doll out big coin for NOS, or spray dye the assorted panels so that everything matches the soft components like the seats, headliner, carpet, etc, etc, or just assemble everything as received...me personally I like everything tweaked so that it matches, not so much that it looks like a spray bomb went off inside the car, you need some colour/sheen/texture contrast so that it looks "natural" and not contrived...if you decide to dye the assorted components to match up, go with either SEM or PPG interior dye custom matched, and sprayed with a gun, not a can...SEM offers several topcoats in clear, low luster, satin gloss, gloss, I recommend a clear topcoat (if using SEM) to aid in colour retention, and ease of cleaning, and stain/scuff prevention, the low lustre clear coat is very natural looking, has no visible sheen when applied correctly, and does not alter the colour

Look at the interior pics of Dave Walden's Challenger. The shades are all over the place.
agreed, blue and greens on the E bodies all varied greatly in shade/contrast on the assorted hard plastic, vinyl, and metal pcs...they were done in batches, multiple vendors, and lots of human intervention/error, and quality control wasn't really concerned with colour variation...

Plus your pics, lighting, type of camera, my monitor, Joe Blows monitor, everything will look different, bad eye sight, maybe being colour blind, etc, etc, etc, it's all subjective
