It may be you, but then it could be your monitor. Not all computer monitors show colors the same. It may be nothing more than how strong the shown color is mixed. As with any color, the less you add to a specific amount of plastic the weaker and more transparent the color becomes. From vendor to vendor the colors may vary some, but I think most will give you what you are looking for. If this is a 2X color its easy to make the color pretty bold. A little 2X goes a long way.
