Blue color

[Amer]

I'd describe it as blue.
Its actually exactly what a blue colored bird looks like. Nothing unusual there.

Self blue is so called "self coloring" because it is a solid color throughout.
That bird has blue lacing around each feather.

Shamo yes its blue for my too.
But they call pale blue what you see on most splash chickens.
But for me, the self blue is practically the same blue color that you see on splash birds but without the splash effect.
Is this correct?

And here's the problem.
Sometimes splash is spotless. It's very difficult to tell from self blue.
Normally self blue is darker by the way.
And to confuse you more, I can show you what happens when you breed lavender with blue, but I don't think I should. Just don't.

How would you describe my oriental gamefowl hen's color then? She looks something similar to this hen in the pic here.



NOTE : Picture is not of my hen but obtained from fellow member here on BYC

I’d describe that as blue.

Ok

I thought she was light lavender. (You can faintly see the dark feather shafts though.)
Put with a black she gave me some true blues.

Put with a porcelain she gave me a lavender rooster, with the feather shredding and everything.

It's definitely a lavender splash.
The blues died but there's the lavender son.
EDITED

To save yourself the confusion, don't make this cross!
