Mine have been darkest to start with. What was the cross for your olive egger.

Looks like she takes after the Ameraucana side more, Still a beautiful egg.

There's still 2 more yet to start laying. Maybe they'll be darker.

If that's her very first egg, it may just not have gotten the brown coating,
'spray booth' not up and running yet...time will tell.
At least it has a blue shell!!
Did you buy the birds/chicks/eggs to hatch..... or breed them yourself?

I bought them at 14 weeks old. She laid another yesterday and it's the same. Here's better pictures. Another one of the three laid today, and it's brown.
Here's yesterday's egg (her 2nd)

Outside in daylight.

That looks better, eh?

Oh, bummer, sure it's one of your OE's?
Is shell blue on inside, break open then immediately peel the membrane off form inside egg to see shell color.
