Your new paint looks pretty much like they did when brand new. [At least as far as one can tell on a computer. In person, in full sunlight, it may be more obvious.]
Red is a color that tends to fade from Sun exposure.

Keep what you got and move on. If it bugs you, use the same color on your other badges, so they all match.
I dont think it will be to noticable as they arent close to each other on the truck. I was going to buy a new one but I think it will be fine on the truck . And it’s an OEM piece
