Your car may have just been subjected to more/less sunlight. Also yours is in the shade there.

My car looks all different shades of red depending on the lighting conditions. Sometimes it's bright, sometimes it's dull. It's quite cool actually as I like both and it's nice to have a change :)

Its a perl colour so it will look quite different due to different light conditions and polish used.

Give it a wash and polish, then see it under sunlight.
