To use the Blue dye, you must target a nearby mob and use the blue lightning to zap it.

This quest is not well explained. You need to stand in the colored pools of water and click your extra action button that appears. They don't really look like pools, to me anyway, more like just.... decorative shapes in the floor, but they're pools of water (dye). For the blue one, you need to target a nearby mob.
Don't get tricked by the spools of thread that you can pick up nearby. They have nothing to do with the quest.

Description

I thought playing them against each other would give me some cover, but it's plunged all of Rak-Ahat into chaos! This could jeopardize our whole operation! You heard what Antourix said. She already augmented the dyebaths with all of those reagents you collected. I don't know what they'll do, but if she was planning on using them against Ren'khat... there's no reason you couldn't use them to take out both of their goons. Test out those dyebaths, and clear out the dyeworks!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Spring CollectionAzj-Kahet · Level 78-80
That maggot Ren'khat wants my position, hm? He's welcome to try and take it. All the runoff from our operation flows into the spring below Rak-Ahat. Decades of mordants, catalysts, and alchemical concoctions have coalesced into something quite... potent. Don't fuss about the side effects.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Azj-Kahet's Next Top DyemasterAzj-Kahet · Level 78-80
Ren'khat and the Overspinner are fighting pincer-and-claw. Inside the spinneret. With no witnesses. We have a unique opportunity here. If they took one another out...
