My cover picture is much darker---but it is probably due to the cover material they print on. I think it absorbs more ink than the regular paper. (My cover and my title page are the same, so I was able to compare them side-by-side.) My color is very close to what I see on my monitor, and I did use the premium paper. Lighter-weight paper is not going to take the inks as well, I would imagine. The premium paper is actually a little heavier than Shutterfly. But I would follow Linda's advice and contact customer service.
