Thinks it's jsut the picture angle!

That's very possible. Another possibility is that the rear bumper IS a shade different than the rest of the car. This is common on a lot of new cars. The reason is that an additive known as "flex agent" is used when painting bumpers (and only bumpers). The reason for the flex agent is to prevent the paint from cracking if/when the bumper flexes. It seems that on some cars this flex agent ends up altering the paint shade slightly. Keep a close eye on brand new Audi A4s and Infiniti G35s and you'll see exactly what I mean. Look at the rear bumper, then the rest of the car, back and forth and the color difference becomes more apparent. I don't know why, but this phenomenon is particularly evident on these cars.
