LSD Hofman Test Result Help

I'm looking for clarification on my Hofman test result for presumed acid. I tested it in a the plastic vial that came with my kit, but it was difficult to get a good photo of. Thus, I poured the test onto a white piece of paper, which I observed no change in color. I purchased a ceramic test basin to avoid this in the future, but I digress.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this result. As the guide shows, it should be a blue color, but when I tested a whole tab of mine, it appears more purple.

Important to note, the second photo shows the tabs themselves, which are blue gel tabs. So, as one might presume, the color may be thrown off. Additionally, I allowed the tab to dissolve in the reagent for approximately 2 hours prior to this photo, as I got no reaction until the gel broke down a bit. Anyone have any advice of what to make of this result?

I also ran ab Ehrlich and it tested positively purple. I also tried the Marquis, which I determined to be inconclusive due to the color change as well.
