Sorry, I'm not into fashion and can't name the 20+ different shades of each major color.
Even the paint chips at Home Depot look like different shades of green, blue, tan, etc. even though each of the 100+ bundle of paint chips have an exciting name.

I love how the people on this forum have nothing better to talk about besides slight color differences on tiny buttons. 
If it wasn't taking my new Apple TV 17 weeks to sync, I wouldn't be here posting in threads talking about colour [in]differences of buttons.
Noted.
Merged threads (sorry if you ended up with a dailytunes thread for a minute there).
And for the record.. who cares?
I would dispute this statement.

It just clashed with my perfectionist self.
Right side looks more yellowish.
And I am assuming the light is symmetrical about a vertical line or you used the left (or right) side of both and flipped one.
The pixel 7 across and 7 down from upper-left-hand corner is 122/210/84 RGB. The pixel 8 across and 7 down is 144/206/84 RGB. The thing of more red, a bit less green, and similar blue is repeated on a few more pixels I looked at.
You could try swapping/copying the iTunes.rsrc file I mentioned earlier from the old one into the new one.
Ctrl-click on the app and show package contents.
I did that, the whole thing went mad.
It didn't display any traffic lights and everything was scrambled.
Sorry, I didn't notice you'd told me to do that
Please schedule an eye examination. The halves are markedly different.
Nice.

Boy really! I bet the guys at Apple take bets on the things that users will "imagine" next. They must have a really good laugh at us quite often!
Same problem !
Hi guys,
I as well updated iTunes to 8.1 and all colors (cd and dvd covers, UI of iTunes, Traffic lights, etc...) are kinda dull and shiny, but not rich.
I though it was my glasses that are dirty, so I cleaned them but same problem. Cleaned my screen, restarted my iMac, and no... same issue.
It is very disturbing and I found it hard on the eyes. It is great to know I am not the only one with this issue. For info, I do not have a theme installed.

I have this too! You're not alone!
I recently noticed this, and Googled it, and found this thread!
My iTunes 8.2 has duller Traffic Light buttons in comparison to other windows in OS X, such as Safari 4 and Finder...
Personally, I think that the whole of iTunes looks a little dull and, washed out?
And the pictures posted have this difference... But to be sure i'll post my own:

Ha ha. That's what I was thinking. Looking so closely at these traffic light comparisons is giving me a headache! D:
This is strange I didn't notice this till I read this thread... Is this what happened to the poster? Did he/she also read this some where?
because I can't image a person sitting behind OS X and with a startled look, jumping out of their chair and screaming oooooohhhhh noooooooooooooooeeeessssss11111 the colorsss have changed what shoould I do? MY LIFE IS SOOO DOOOOMED
Sits back down and then makes a thread Who has "dull" traffic lights on iTunes 8.1?

Ok let's get to the bottom of this. I don't know why I only thought of this now. So I saved Louis12345's picture and used Digital Color Meter to measure the colors (check your Utilities folder). The results??? He's right!
iTunes 8.2 is a different color than the Safari 4.0 and Finder window buttons. Ok, so it's settled. Why does it happen? I don't know but apparently it is true. For reference the pics are iTunes (top left) Safari (top Right) and Finder (Bottom left).
