I used to handle the stock room at a gas station (long time ago ... phew, glad I've moved on) I've noticed color differences between packages of bulbs (sometimes even within packages). I guess it's the glass they use doesn't have the proper amount of dye in it sometimes. The best way to get a matching dark pair is to go by an auto part store/gas station (gas stations usually have them out of packaging, and not in pairs in neat little cards, 'cos they buy in bulk) and get them to search for the darkest pair you can get.

The letter at the end of the bulb part number also designates whether its a coating or that the glass itself is actually that color.
Example:
3157 ==== Clear
3157A === Amber Coating
3157NA == Natural Amber (the glass is actually amber and not just painted)
3157R === Red Coating
The benefit to "NA" over "A" is that its a darker more even color that will not fade.
Example:
3157 ==== Clear
3157A === Amber Coating
3157NA == Natural Amber (the glass is actually amber and not just painted)
3157R === Red Coating
The benefit to "NA" over "A" is that its a darker more even color that will not fade.
