Put 86 back how it was, adjust the tint so as many of the bars are as close to the correct color as possible, then try 86 together with the tint control and see if you can get it better.

Also you may have the color level up too high. The first bar should be white IIRC. If you overdrive the color level on some (otherwise perfect) sets the tint of some colors will shift abnormally. Reduce color level till the bars are pastel/faintly colored and readjust.
I did have the color turned all the way up. But i did adjust the tint for the best match. The only color that is correct seems to be the red bar which is in the right spot.
