Knowing it came from EA, unless there's something they're selling but missing from website, or it was variegated but has faded, it has to be JCC by process of eliminating the others. Everything else is variegated, except the one other solid one, a bright lime colored 'Limelight.'

It's possible that somebody shopping before you got there picked up the tag from a Dorado plant and put it in the pot of the one you got by accident.

Their labels tend to be somewhat unreliable too, even when still stuck in the intended plant. For example, their Tradescantia page shows T. zebrina on the 'Red Hill' entry but they sell both Cyanotis somaliensis and T. cerinthoides with that tag, but not T. zebrina. There is no such cultivar as 'Red Hill.' Their entry for T. fluminensis shows a pic of what looks like T. cerinthoides, too hairy to be T. fluminensis. I have all of these and once you have them around for a while, they're not so similar. They have a 'dog tail' labeled Aporocactus that's really something else that doesn't come to mind at the moment. Whenever there's a tag, I always take a pic & ask forum. A surprising number of times, the tags are wrong, from EA and other growers. It can happen for a lot of reasons at the grower & after, at the store.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
