Good looking bird... but yeah, not blue... almost looks like a dilute lav.
He's Platinum Mahonri, Platinum is the result of a double dilution, Dun "combined" with Blue.
He does look sort of steely gray/lavender in color in person, but he looks richer in hue than any Lavender bird I have seen. That's the only way I can describe the difference, every Lavender bird I have seen just looks pale and washed out.

They sort of are.

They sort of are.
to get a better laced bird you need to have really good laced Blues and Chocolate birds.
Theres a picture of an OK laced bird here.

Nice, thanks.
It looks like Mauve can vary in hue and intensity of color just like Blue does, which makes sense.
I REALLY like the color.

Yes.
If you have proper lacing like in andalusians you could get a chocolate laced blue.
The splashes on a platinum bird (Bl/bl+,I^d/i+) are chocolate colored instead of black as in a splash (Bl/Bl) or a blue (Bl/bl+) chicken.

It cannot happen
Its genetically possible...

I´m with you here Henk.. Blue can´t Dilute Black lacing on Extended Black birds, leaving Dun(het dun I^D) to Dilute Black to Chocolate all by its self..
so to make a short answer..
its possible if given the right genetic combination..

Wouldn't chocolate express itself on all parts of the feather that were black?
