1803 Experts: Different color champagne dials

Both these watches are mid-70s champagne dial 1803s but one is off white and one is gold. ive noticed this among these watches. some "champagne" dial 1803s have a creamy dial and some are more "shiny" gold. anyone know why this is? are they actually different dials?

I believe these we're born different colors all together

they couldnt have started the same ,,, i looked at dds recently and found it hard at times to see the difference between silver and champagne , but it may have just been the photography.
one of those dials looks cream.
