Color not as advertised

I spoke with a Brownell's tech who advised me to get this color when I wanted a red, alcohol-based stain. That was bad advice, because this particular stain is brown, not red. That said, the stain works well and comes in a plastic bottle which is truly resealable. It won't dry out, and the screw-off top won't get gummed up and not open.
