Lightbulb

That looks lighter to me. It is about the color of an old bottle we left upNorth over the winter. When fresh it is pretty dark, a rich red color.

Don't know if the white background however, is lightening it up for you. But since you were given it, I'd think it might be on the fringe of getting old.

Notice on their website...the bottle has changed?

It is possible only the beta carotene has been affected...it is an antioxidant after all.

Sniff it... if there is any acrid off odor at all... I'd not use it.
When fresh it does turn the food orange/yellow, eggs especially.
