Dark tooth showing through crown? (Photos)

wahoowa19
Had a porcelain crown placed over #8 following a root canal retreatment. Went to the lab to have a custom shade & was very pleased with the results at the dentist's office. After going home & seeing it in natural light, I'm not so pleased with it anymore. The top of the tooth is darker than the rest...I think the shade is matched perfectly but I think it appears dark because of the tooth underneath it. Can anything be done about this?
