Not to my american raised ears. I live in colombia and have for nearly a decade. To my ears the spanish “e” sound is most similar to the english sound “ay” as in hay or may but shorter. I’ve never heard someone make the phoneme “eh” here in colombia.

Might be because of local accent as well, I don't speak a word of spanish but I'd be very surprised if there's no difference between spanish in spain and spanish in colombia

Nah, e is the same across most spanish accents. It’s more likely we’re just using different letters for the same sounds as i said in my other comment.
