Langshan color question - is this really a splash?

I've found it difficult to get a picture that shows the color well.

Oyster does look to be a boy. My boy has no tail feathers yet but the girls are all feathered out.

Do you have any young pictures of him or was he always the same even white?

She looks like a lavender, self blue. But she looks like she has brown in her...
Are Langshan cocks gentle (with people and their hens)?

MidnightChicken,

Yes, they are very, very sweet. Gentle with humans but don't expect them to become lap-birds without some work. Mine comes up to me and stands next to me also sits next to me when I decide I need a break but I bet if I tried to grab him he'd squawk like a baby!

The hens are sweet too, save for my blue demon-broody bird. I won't let her set on eggs anymore...EVIL!
