Can the tyndall effect from HA fillers be gray/purple in colour?

urlm
I have this gray/purple-ish hue under my right eye that has persisted more than 2 years after Restylane under my eyes. I tried bleaching creams and they did nothing.. I don't understand why this isn't going away! I hope it might be the filler still there, but I keep hearing the tyndall-effect from fillers is blue, but I wouldn't call mine blue, it's more gray/purple-ish. It's hard to explain. It doesn't really show well in photos. Can the filler appear gray/purple under the skin? Or always blue?
