  We analyze the effect of the parton color randomization on $p_T$ broadening
in the quark-gluon plasma with turbulent color fields. We calculate the
transport coefficient for a simplified model of fluctuating color fields in the
form of alternating sequential transverse layers with homogenous transverse
chromomagnetic fields with random orientation in the SU(3) group and gaussian
distribution in the magnitude. Our numerical results show that the color
randomization can lead to a sizable reduction of the turbulent contribution to
$\hat{q}$. The magnitude of the effect grows with increasing ratio of the
electric and magnetic screening masses.
