ColourB4 turned my hair blue... HELP!

Back in April I bleached my auburn hair and put pink (Jerome Russell Punky Color "Rose") colour . I am trying to go back to a more natural shade so this afternoon I tried to use ColourB4 to take the pink out and now my hair is multiple shades of blue and green.

From Google searching it seems bleaching will make things worse. Is there any way I can fix this without going to a salon or destroying my hair?

Please help! I have a job interview on Friday!

How dark is the blue/green and what colour was your hair before the pink?
A pic would be helpful
Do you have a colour in mind or will any natural shade be acceptable?

The blue is pretty dark. The green is a seagreen colour and is just at the very ends and around my ears for some reason.

I'd probably like to go back to red since that's what my colouring is most suited for, black and dark brown aren't really options with my skin-tone.

Here's the blue colour:

And here's a picture of my hair before the pink:

How did you get to the pink? Did you put it straight over the auburn to make a very dark pink?

Decolour Remover once made Adore Dark Chocolate turn into a delightful grass green (it was HILARIOUS) and I had some success with the vitamin C powder (I used pure ascorbic acid) and shampoo method to fade it. The vitamin C seemed to have effect of returning the dye back to brown, not a total reversal as there was still a hint of green left in my hair, but the lather and rinse out was decidedly brown. Worth a strand test! Always strand test.

I would try another round of colour remover, or the bleach powder plus shampoo plus oils method.
If you put an orange direct dye (a redddy orange rather than a yellowy one) straight over the blue it will make a brownish colour, so that is worth strand testing too. It may fade funky, but it should get you through your interview at least.

That happened to me once too Capucine, and I was at a salon!

Thank you for the advice Wicked Pixie, I used coconut oil + bleach + shampoo method, it went back to pink not blonde but it was easier to put another colour over top of that than the near black-blue. So all is good now. I'm going to treat my hair to some hot oil treatments this weekend.
