Disappointing acid yellow asiatic

I planted some sale asiatic lilies last spring a little too late for most to bloom. But they grew well and I knew this year I would be rewarded. Monte Negro, Navona and one other (which was labeled Corrida on some packages and Toronto on others) are just spectacular. But the one that was labeled "Kansas" and supposed to be a soft cream yellow with a deeper center turns out to be instead an intense solid acid yellow with a few speckles that goes with nothing I have. ItÂs like the color of fluorescent yellow Gatorade or a yellow highlighter. I will have to move this one later after it blooms (which will be a challenge, even to get into that spot and dig it out without hurting something else. Plus I planted maybe 5 of them.).

But I really wanted a soft yellow asiatic, a creamy whipped butter kind of yellow, for that spot. Any recommendations? It is behind a WalkerÂs Low catmint and next to a Veronica Sunny Border Blue so soft colors that would go with those. I have some peachy early daylilies starting soon in that area so bloom time would likely overlap. Thanks!
