Default Did I get boofed by my Evinrude Dealer?

Brought a couple of empty Ficht Ram oil gallon jugs to the nearest Evinrude dealer to be filled. When I got home i started pouring it into my tank when i noticed that the oil wasnt purple like when I bought the gallons off the shelf, it was a darker blue color similar to regular TCW 3. Im thinking the guy filled my containers from the wrong drum. Can someone tell me if the color has changed...highly unlikely...if its regular TCW 3 can i safely use it after using only the ram oil all this time? Thanks for any replies

Not at the shop right now but will be in the morning. I'll take a look at what I have and let ya' know. At first thought I would say you may be right. The older TCW-3 was blue in color. I'll have to look...darn colors change with the years seems like.
