Discoloration after passivation

Well we are doing the pickling and passivation of cladded ( Inconel 825 ) pipes. Well the problem is, during and after cleaning we are getting, yellowish/ greenish in color. What would be reason ?

thanks and regards

Please give info as for the process you use so we can try to figure where the problem comes from.

Does Inconel 825 need to be passivated?

Being a high nickel content material, I would suspect the yellow-green color is from the nickel.
