Without proper pictures under similar lighting conditions everything else is pointless speculation. 

Yes - without that this is white dress/blue dress territory.   Lighting conditions (amount of light, source of light, direction of light) and background can make a radical difference to our perception of colours.  
There are a host of optical illusions that demonstrate this:


Squares A and B are the same colour.

To me the shaded area looks darker on both colours, the OP's blind has the slates darker but the band lighter, so shade alone doesn't account for that.

No, it's not a direct equivalent.  The point being:   It's very hard to accurately compare colours from a picture alone.  Even more so from two different pictures taken under different circumstances.

The band is probably a diiferent material.

Could be, something different about it.

Since the band folds up as you raise the blind it cannot be a firm material as the slats are.

It most likely is some type of tape.
