The standard calls for penciling around the edge of each feather, so would that mean that they're blue vs. self blue?

They are Blue.

Sorry about that! I was thinking solid blue as compared to my Blue laced red hens.

If you cross Blue with Blue Laced Red the offspring would be Blue, Splash and Black

*Blue would be U.S. Blue with Lacing/ Penciling.

I thought we were talking about blue and not self blue.....Wyandottes are blue correct?

Wyandottes are Blue yes but they have lacing and not a, "solid Blue" as you stated in your post.

According to the calculator, if I cross my Blue Wyandotte rooster with my Blue Laced Red Wyandotte hens, I will end up with Blue/Black/Splash chicks. Does that sound right? Will those chicks breed true as Blue Wyandottes?

Thanks Chris! I stated that because I thought the OP was inquiring about making blue birds that are not Blue Laced Red and I should have been more clear.

Thanks for the help! And sorry for the confusion I caused with my initial post. I will definitely not call them solid blue in the future!

Andalusian blue is prone to lacing. But for a proper laced andalusian blue you need something extra.
