Layer with color dodge keeps changing on a different background

Hello everyone,

So I have created an object, I have expanded it and have applied an offset path to the object twice.

Then I have used Blend tool and in the end I applied color dodge to my objects.

The results are as follows:

However, when I move the same object to a different background the effect will change its color and I don't want that.

I have tried flattening the transparency and rasterizing it but it didn't work as desired.

What can I do to prevent this from happening?

Thank you so much

Can you provide a sample .ai file including both examples?

Also, please state which version of Illustrator you are using.
