Tea Cakes Yarn

Nice but colors don't match

I purchased this yarn in Ocean Night a few years ago for a raglan sleeve pullover sweater. I finally got around to using it. I like the way it feels and knits up nicely, no splitting or knots. However, the self striping is very inconsistent and impossible to match the striping for the front and back. Also, even though the dye lots all matched, the colors are off. One cake the green is a soft shade and another cake it's a bright green. I purchased enough for the pattern requirements, but I'm coming up short, even with getting the gauge correct. I found more online and I'm not sure it will matter if the dye lots don't match.
