Notice that the mix in the second pic (the clear blue white only) seems to be more transparent than the first one? This is due to the UV dye not giving off too much visible light. The first pic that looks milky is actually just better able to give off light when struck by UV.

My camera is not totally accurate in recording this, as the cap of the milk jug was actually more purple when viewed by the human eye in these conditions, and the clear blue dye sample had a shade less color satruation (blueness), while the blue white with green added was actually a shade or two brighter...

...i.e. the blue white sucks, unless you are looking for a subtle effect, with more "blueness".
