Default Rec'd my aluminum sport pedals - one is blue?

So I was excited to received my aluminum sport pedals that I ordered from Sewell today. However, when I opened the box and inspected the product, one of the pedals (for the accelerator) is blue. That's not normal, is it? There also appears to be black scuff marks on the blue one, despite being sealed in a bag...

the blue's a good look. im presuming its for the acceleration/gas. the sport pedals are a nice look, and the slight blue just enhances the look of things.

The accelerator pedal does not come with the whole assembly. You just need to take off the assembly from the car to "easily" install the gas pedals. Good luck with the install ! I heard it was a pain in the ... lol
