My ink mix went cloudy and I don't know why

I mixed a bit of a dark blue ink with a light yellow one. It made a cool green shade at first. After a few hours, it got all hazy and not clear. Is this common when mixing inks? I'm worried it might clog my pen if I use it.

Did you mix dye and pigment inks?

Tossing it seems a bit extreme. I've mixed small amounts before without a problem, as long as it was in a cleaned pen. The key is to do a test draw in a sample vial first to see if it gels up.

Inks reacting, can clog pens. Toss it.
