Very pale green and diluted purple/pink

So, up until I started to fade my pastel turq, it was a lovely icy blue. I sat with head and shoulders on my hair for an hour and the ends are white, but near the roots turned a pale green. Today I mixed Lush's I love juicy, head and shoulders and baking soda and left it on for an hour. More bits went back to white, the green turned even paler green. It's very light, but it does worry me.

I was planning on diluting crazy color violette and doing a light purple next (that will hopefully fade to more of a pastel colour). But I'm unsure whether the green is a problem. What do you guys think? I can, of course, sit with head and shoulders on my hair for a few times until the dye arrives and I will. But I don't think all the green will come out.

I was also toying with the idea of doing diluted violette, diluted turq and maybe a diluted pink all at once. So if all over isn't an option, I can still do that and dye the green bits over with turq.

I first did pastel purple over very faded turquoise, and it covered fine. It does pull the purple more towards blue, so if you want a pinker lilac add more pink to counteract the turquoise.

Thank you! I don't mind a bluer purple, so that's great. I'll keep fading in hopes of getting even paler green until the dye arrives. Now I'm in good spirits that it will work out, thanks!

I like the sound of diluted turquoise, purple and pink btw, would it be in streaks or a gradient?

I haven't decided yet! Streaks would be easier. But I'd love to try a gradient sometimes. My hair is in layers though, so I would have to think carefully how to do a gradient.

I think those three colours will look awesome together!
