Help: Instating a #Z15F acoustic foam panel on top of the 38AW oak veneer gives a midnight blue glow instead of that soft sunset hue

so i just pulled the old 38AW veneer out for its "classic" vibes and swapped it with that new 150cm 30D #Z15F panel you guys kept talking about in that late‑night thread last week

i wiped it with a damp cotton rag (yes i used a 200ML densi‑cleat cloth) then cut the panel 19.1X19.6 to fit and stapled it directly onto the wood as soon as the first sunset lit the room, i felt it like the wall started breathing that deep, turquoise sea‑foam tone i found in those black‑white, neon‑accent posters.. I want the warm yellow of my vintage table lamp to show through, but now i keep seeing a darker oceanic hue

any one of you home‑decos who have used the #Z15F model in an office/ living‑room combo be like, what’s the trick to stop that 'sci‑fi glow'? or maybe you just kept your knowledge in the locker until spring and now you’re “still cool"???

please help!! tbh my mantelpiece is the only part that ain’t dead wrong

edit: added the image from last week’s thread for reference (upload is still on their servers) i'm not sure if the smell came from the paint under it or the polymeric base of the foam, or if it’s my old oil painting doing this :thinking:

Cheers,
