Steven,

It is ideal to have grey flats, but, it's not a problem if you have a blue tinge, as they're treated as greyscale images in pre-processing.

The blue cast you're getting may be due to incorrect white balance settings in your camera. See if you can set it to auto white balance.

Mitchell, re: your question about the maths behind flat frames: darks are subtracted from your lights; and your lights are divided by your flat fields.

Regards,
Humayun
