Marc,

There could be a couple or so different reasons. Salts were weak (used too long) , temperature was too low, or the duration in the tank was too short. Or possibly a combination of these factors.

The tank temperature being too high will result in a plum color, as will high nickel content or leaving it in the tank too long.
