Just Paint by Number

If I could leave 0 stars, I would.
I found this company by just a Google search and decided to order a custom paint by number as a gift.
After ordering I received a confirmation email. 5 days later I got an email that my item had shipped. 14 days later my item arrived.
I was completely disappointed and so upset that I spent so much money on something that looked terrible. The colors were NOTHING like that on the original image (which was a beach picture). It appears as if they applied a sepia filter to it. My beach picture has no white (despite me wearing a white dress), blue, or even grey paint, it's all browns, tans, reds, and oranges. The color for our skin (specifically our faces) is SO dark, we honestly are the most pale white people and the paint provided is fairly dark brown.
I reached out to their customer service asking for a refund because of how off the colors were, I even offered to send it back so they wouldn't think I was trying to get it for free. I was then sent a rendering of the image that they did (it indeed looked sepia toned) and was told they sent this to me before production and shipping for my approval and that it essentially looks fine to them. I assured them I did not and would not have approved that and again expressed my disappointment in the product/colors.
No response.
So I sent another email following up and again asking for a refund and that I was more than willing to ship it back to them.
That's when they said oh well we have a policy that if you don't approve the rendering after so many days we proceed anyway. Okay...but again I said I did not get a rendering.
They then sent me some sort of screen shot that says they sent me a rendering for approval, so I responded with a screen shot of my email account showing no email from them on that date or time.
No response.
I'm well aware they don't allow returns on custom stuff but given this is a quality issue and not that I just didn't want it any more,, I thought they would work with me. I was never apologized to, they never tried to fix the situation, or change the paint/rendering, nothing. They ignored a couple emails and told me when I purchased I agreed to their terms and I needed to "respect" them.
After several days of arguing with rude customer service and another day of no response, I am out $70 and will be filing a charge dispute with my bank. I have now ordered from a different company since this one was so bad.
Also, FYI for anyone who prefers US products, their "address" is a Delaware address but the product actually comes from China.
I've attached pictures of what I submitted, their rendering (which appears lighter than the paint provided), and images of the paint provided for our skin/face (im pointing to with my finger).
