I only have an ameraucana from your list but we absolutely adore her. Her name is Penny. Blue Ameraucana :D She just started laying gorgeous light green eggs this week!
 
Sometimes the bloom can be heavy giving it a slight green tint. But yes you are correct that they can’t have the brown pigmentation causing darker greens like olive and what not.
Here‘s the chart a lot of breeders use when trying to improve egg color.

Sebrights are very skittish in my opinion. My past hen does NOT like to be hold or catch. I can’t pet her either, or she will cry bloody murder and fly off. She liked her distance away from me.
