Default Fast Blue with a green tint

I ordered the Fast Blue dye in hopes to more closely match the 3M painters tape in the pictures. The background part was dyed with Blue 4A but trying to keep it light to try to make the match. When it didn't, I ordered the Fast blue. But as I hope you can tell by the pictures, there's a greenish tint to it. Nice color in itself... but not what I was going for. I'm here asking if anyone else has ever gotten a dye that seems off in tint? or is there anything different that I can control in the anodizing process to control tints of a dye or does it vary by alloy?
