Did I hatch a Lavender or Lilac Swedish duck? Some other color?

Just for some comparison. These are what I assume were silvers I hatched years ago. They are the only pics I took of them. I can't say it enough how much I wish I could've kept them or wish I had incubated more eggs to try and get more of these, but I gave them to a friend of my dad. Funny thing is the 2 I have here have mostly yellow bills and feet though I think you can see just a little blue coloring in them cause the yellow seems a bit tinted. One of them does have a crest which is an extra reason why I wish I kept or made more of them. I know there's people that say you shouldn't want cresteds in your flock but I like it anyway. The afros are funny.

Anyway, the one without a crest apparently did have a little blue coloring on it's head, hard to tell if it had any on the rest of it. The one with the crest I can't remember if it even had any color. If it did it wasn't much. So once again, I'm wondering if all the ducklings I'm wondering about if they're all silvers or if maybe there's a difference due to the gender... or maybe this new one I have isn't silver.

Now maybe you guys can see why I'm a bit confused about what color my new duckling is... If it is silver it doesn't look like the other ones that I've hatched.

Silvers have dark bills so I do not think these are them. I have read about white ducks hatching with white down. I suspect that is what these are. I do understand your confusion.
