RCA 6SN7 grey bottles

Is it a problem if a pair of grey tubes don’t have consistent grey or opaqueness? Like one is greyer or more opaque than the other?

I guess for music applications it’s mostly cosmetic. For military purposes back in the day it might make a difference due to all the other electronics cramped together.
