I took the laptop out to the car and the picture is very accurate. It does seem lighter and more matte.

 

Thanks for all the comments.
Either the "Natural" aspect of the Olive means that the color will differ or the sunlight has lightened the wood. I have the Thermal glass option so hopefully the tone will stay. Showed a friend the car yesterday and she called it a Louis Vuitton car. Sure enough when she took out her Vuitton checkbook cover, it matched very well with the interior.

 

The picture I included was taken when the car was new so no chance the wood faded. It still looks the same today. Just a different tree I guess. LOL

 

Did not realize you had taken the pic when new. That makes it less mass produced and cooler. Also did not realize how often you use the grab handles. Assumed they were more decorative. The non lacquered Olive is nice to the touch.
