Difference of color in panels

Took our new T@G to the car wash today as the temps slowly started getting up to the minus 10 Celsius range. After the wash and chamois, I see that the roof is a whiter panel than the sides and the sides just a tad whiter than the galley hatch. Does anyone else notice this on the white and black trailer?

All of my 2019 is the same shade of white.

Definitely 2, if not 3, different shades on mine. The roof panel is very white. Pictures attached.

Looking at Princess Craft YouTube vids of the 2021, it indeed does appear to have a "whiter' roof panel.

Here's a screenshot of one of their video frames. Definitely a different shade on the roof panel. In looking at other images of the same color Boondocks, I see the same thing. Is it because the sides and galley hatch are Asdel and the roof something else?
Actually, the only panels that are Asdel are the Sidewalls.

@csonni na, the galley hatch is not hazdel, it is aluminium like the roof.

I’m thinking they kept the roof as white as they could for heat reflection. For the sides and back hatch, that would be too white at night for other drivers with the reflection?

Interesting that the colours listed on the nuCamp site is White for the Sidewalls and Bright White for Trim. The roof definitely would be Bright White.

If you scroll through this video of a 2021 T@G XL Boondock, you'll see the obvious difference between the roof panel and the sides and galley hatch. My dealer was going to check with the nuCamp factory and get back to me but hasn't yet. Very curious as to why the different paint shades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e341Onb4Z1s

Just got a reply back from our dealer. Kind of what I figured. "As per NuCamp, the one piece aluminum roof skin can vary slightly in shades because of the different suppliers they have for their aluminum. As you have seen, this is common and quite normal as per NuCamp RV."

My silver all the same shade
