Hi, Aednatia! Sorry to hear about your color issue. It's not an issue of a bad batch - the manufacturer does sometimes have a very slight color variation between production lots, but I haven't noticed anything like that with the new atomic turquoise shipment, which we've been distributing since October 2014. It is possible that we sent you the wrong color and wrote "atomic turquoise" on the bag (I caught my old assistant making this mistake a couple of times), so please email me and give me your mailing address again, and I'll send you a free hank of atomic turquoise, just to make sure that you received the correct color. -Tina
