Model Master paint question. What do you think happened?

[Monty]

I'm one of those people who still likes most Testors/Model Master enamel paints, especially their vast array of reds.  To that end, I do occasional ebay searches to see what's still out there at reasonable prices.  I found another big sale the other day (probably 20-some colors in varying quantities) and one listing was for MM Deep Red Pearl.  It was an acrylic, but the prospect of that shade intrigued me, so I bought two bottles. 

The seller's picture should have given me pause, 

   but I pulled the trigger anyway.  Upon receiving the package, I saw that both bottles looked like the picture above.  In a desperate attempt to change reality, I fired up my trusty Badger paint mixer and went after it, but the paint stubbornly remained blue. 

Occam's razor says it was a factory label issue.  (Seller had more of these than the two I bought).  Any other opinions?

Mislabeled. If you googled "Model Master 4651", "4651" being the product code, you would've found that this is Deep Pearl Purple.

Ironically, the blue color should have been a red flag, but I was too hyped about the color to do any due diligence.  Hope this prevents others from making the same mistake.
