Believe me, I've tried Costco and looked again within the last couple
of weeks but there was none to be found. Not even a shelf tag during
the Christmas season.

Your reality isn't mine. First of all, a four color mix is not
commonly found at my grocery stores these days and all of the multi
color mixes *here* are heavy on the black peppercorns (mainly black
peppercorns with a spot of another color here or there and no green,
ever), so I was particularly excited to see how well balanced the mix
I found was. <shrug>
