Color genetics question

I was wondering if anyone could help me guess at the color genes present in my hen? She’s white with gray present in her hackles and some of her longest tail feathers, as her primary flight feathers. Sorry , these are the best pics I have at the moment.

It's hard to tell with Easter Eggers... They can have multiple different colors in their background. Very hard to sayn
 
It looks like a faeded out Light Sussex. But only the hackle is colored. Is the underdown white or colored to the skin? Would you say the color on the neck feathers (hackle), is black, grey, or lavender? That's important.
Best,
Karen
 
The underdown is white. The neck feathers looks more grey (blue) to me than lavender. There is also a little bit of color on her wing feathers and tail. But not much. I'll try to get a good pic tomorrow. My brain says "washed out wheaten" but i don't know if that just me trying to put a name to something random.
