another dumb one...cobalt carb

Cobalt Question:

The last pound of cobalt carb I ordered was bright, bright pink. I
finally used it up, and the new pound I ordered is pink, but more like a
dusty rose color. I know they're different colors, as I compared the
bags.

Anyone know why this would be the case? Will it effect the glazes I use
it in?

Thanks!

Probably not, but ultimately remember the Potter's motto:
