Hyacinth ‘Pink Pearl’ (or not)

My last pots of forced hyacinths are now blooming. This is ‘Pink Pearl’:

Or is it? The bulb companies describe this one as fuchsia-pink, and the accompanying photos on various websites definitely show a medium to dark pink flower for this cultivar.

Perhaps I was sent the wrong thing?

‘Pink Pearl’ grows 8 to 12 inches and is very fragrant. Check and check. But those attributes can be attributed to most Dutch hyacinths.

Whatever this cultivar is, it’s pretty and it’s making my office look and smell like spring!
