wrong color
Not the right hue
Wrong color describes something that doesn't match what was expected, requested, or appropriate for the situation.
The phrase appears in complaints about products, design choices, or mismatched items: They sent the wrong color—I ordered blue, not green.
It can also signal aesthetic disapproval: That's the wrong color for this room.
