Brief Answer:
Eskalith also comes in pink color

Detailed Answer:
Dear Tomko,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Although the standard color of eskalith is grey/yellow, it also comes in pink color with number 300 or 450 on the tablet.

In case there is doubt see the strip of lithium where the salt name must be lithium carbonate. In case you do not find them please post the images of tablet as well as the medicine strip from both sides.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks again.
