Crown is darker than my natural teeth or am I overreacting?

Crown is darker than my natural teeth or am I overreacting?

I recently left my dentist appointment with the final implant crown placed, but after getting home and looking at it in different lighting, I noticed the crown seems slightly darker/warmer than my natural teeth.

I sent the clinic a message with a photo, and they replied the next day saying we would give attention to it at my next appointment.
I still need to go back anyway because I have other molar implants that need adjustments, so I’ll bring up the crown color again then. But I’m honestly anxious they may try to convince me to keep it as it is.

I know it’s not a massive difference and maybe I’m overthinking it, but I feel like the whole point of an implant crown is for it to blend naturally with your real teeth. Especially because it’s visible to me every time I look in the mirror.

For those who’ve had implant crowns:
Does this shade difference look noticeable to you?

Is it reasonable to ask for a closer color match?

Am I being too perfectionistic here?

I genuinely don’t want to be difficult,  I just want it to look as natural as possible.
