HELP - used Goldwell Neutralights / copper roots

Hey everyone!   Need all the advice out there!!

I had about 4 inches of root regrowth - level 2.5 on the Goldwell chart -   and wanted to lift to a  light ashy brown. 

I have about 10% of grey so this is my formulation I used:

------------------------------------------------------
1.5 TBS  of  Blue/Ash Goldwell Neutralights
0.5 TBS of  6NN Goldwell Topchic (for grey coverage)
------------
2 TBS ==>  1 Ounce
-------------

Used 2 ounces of 40V developer

Also used 14 drops of TCA in the mix to accelerate the process

Total of 30 minutes of processing
--------------------------------------------------------


OK, the roots came out a coppery tinge... 

Don't know what happened!!   I thought the blue/ash neutralights was suppose to cut through the Orange/red tones!!   The 6NN topchic color did not cover my greys as I would have thought.

What do you folks advise at this point?   How do I get the Nice light ashy brown hair color at my roots?

I have 1/4 of the Blue/ash Neutralights tube left

I also have these colors avail right now:   7A, 6A, 6NN, 5NN

How do I cut through the copper tones at my roots?   Should I use the blue/ash neutralights with a 10V developer for 15 min? 

Should I use the 7A  to tone the copper down? 

Please help!!  I want a nice light brown color - not a brassy copper top head!
