You'd be surprised, it can actually be fine - mine is like that.

I had the horrible painted, sticky, peeling/scraped door switch panels and managed to get (from A8parts of course) some "wood" versions with the same colour painted areas, but actually a different (lighter) "wood" to the rest of the car.

It looks fine.

What made me think of accepting it was that my old PF S8 had a very different shade between the door switch panels and the rest of the car, nominally the same but practically quite different. That was apparently "normal" and to be fair I hadn't noticed for many years. There's an old thread here somewhere with pictures.
Edit. All in this thread, PF and FL and loads of assorted pictures: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5807
