Navy blue water stain help!

[drunknpirate]

So I've never used this stuff before and I need to achieve the color on a sample that was sent to me. I am using the professional navy blue Eco flo water stain. I have tried full strength, .5ml water to one once, 1ml water to one once stain and 2ml water to one once stain. At 2ml water it starts to become dull rather than brighter. As you can see from my pictures it not even close to being the same hue. On a dead line that is quickly approaching, help!
