Default Barrel bluing

My recent 28 Ga. just arrived. I am very pleased with it. 26" Q1 Q2. I paid what I would expect is the high side of market as there was no case but I have been looking for one for a while now. Single trigger, splinter.

What I noticed is, when I put it next to my 20, the barrel blue is clearly more matted than the 20. The lettering is pronounced so I would not be convinced that this is for any reason re-blued.

Has anyone with multiple PR's noticed a difference in bluing tone? The color is exactly the same, just the 20 is more reflective. The underlying polish is just a little coarser on the 28.

Thanks

Ryan
