Default Buying the wrong backing twice!

I made a quilt top that has actual pineapples shapes on it in tones of yellows, golds, greens of course for the pineapples. The background fabric is dark red which makes the pineapples "pop". Ordered a backing fabric off Facebook and when it came it's more of a chrome yellow...won't do. Went to Hobby Lobby and found a mustard yellow with white flowers and black stems. When I got it home … it's just barely ok.
So now I have two pieces each 4 yards in length that I probably won't use. Searching for the perfect piece to use again. Is this why my fabric stash keeps growing?? Of course! How many times have you bought the wrong backing to use? I feel like a dummy....
