Agreed.

The color matcher probably used a D65 light source to mix the paint for your wheels. It simulates the light given off by the sun.

In Whitey’s picture the intercooler piping is under shop lights which are usually cool white fluorescent.

I wouldn’t worry about it. He sounds like an experienced painter and they look good either way.
