: But Rashi on Brachos is specifically talking about the color of the dye,
: since you have to distinguish between techelet and carti in a beged.

Which implies that the final dye isn't yaroq kekarti.

Rashi could still say (despite my argument that he meant the initial
dam, not the dye) that tekheiles is yaroq. As long as it's not the same
shade as a karti. It would give a later time for misheyaqir than if
it were blue vs green. Or a nearly black bluish-purple. But still,
a plausible one.
