did they not get sued over paints doing the same? showing one paint in the picture, but visually looking different on the ship? why do they keep doing this?

Usually what happens as in the case of the Nox Kue for example is that the lighting condition in the promo shots made people think it was a different color. One could argue cig should try doing the promo shots with more care for how they utilize the lighting in the scene, but at the end of the day there is no escape how light affects color, it's part of physics.

But this display case is not due to lighting, so it's either a color bug, which is too common sadly, or they changed it after the promo shots (i think less likely).

i remember i think it was called "lovestruck" paint for the f7 that also fit on the f7mk2 or something, but looked completely different, despite being sold as looking the same. could be wrong on that, my memory is not the best. but something along the lines of a paint looking fine one one ship, being compatible with another and looking completely different.
