I bought a 14oz tube of yamalube marine grease but when I got it the grease is red. Has anyone else ever had this?

Yamaha Marine grease is blue. Recheck the label.         Rudy

Yamalube from the Yamaha Store.  I had to Google it.  The description doesn't say what color or much else.  Here are the first two reviews:

Used as hair product to keep my military Mohawk looking stiff and ready. However, found it got runny in warm temperatures and caused people to stare and point at me. Better to use as marine grease I think.

Does it say yamaha on it anywhere? looks like another brand maybe. As long as it has the same properties it should be ok

On the bottom pic, one of the last lines mentions "Yamaha All Purpose Marine Grease".

the color is just dye, isn't it?
maybe they made gun cartridge different from squeeze tube,
or switched colors, altogether...
just call Yamaha to make sure it's nota packaging error, or counterfeit scam
