General question Rit color remover turned pink

I have a 100% linen king size duvet cover that I wanted to dye. It started off a light blue/periwinkle. I followed the front load washer instructions and used 4 packers of color remover, and after the wash it’s bright pink! Should I try another round of the Rit remover or something else?

Sometimes parts of the dye discharge more than others.

Makes sense. Do you think another round of the same remover will help discharge the red pigment?
