Why is the white carnation sitting in purple food dye turning blue?

It is likely that as the dye travels to the flower, it is losing its intensity which makes it a lighter shade of purple that appears blue. If you want it to turn more purple I would suggest putting more dye into the water or even trying a different type of dye. Hope this helps!
