Here’s a picture of a blue buff Colombian Orpington I found color pattern looks identical

Ok, thanks. But why is she more black than my other wyandotte's?

Genetic variety. Even show quality chickens will have differences between individuals.

Not exactly. Notice how your cockerel has a blue body with buff leakage in the wings and hackle. The other rooster has blue only in his hackle and tail.

My apologies as these guys are 7 weeks, but please take a shot! (Just the 2 mixes, we know what the silkies are )

A friend has a farm with animals running wild. She had a hen hatch these 2 and take off so she gave them to us.

These are only guesses at this point, but I'm thinking that the first one is a wheaten marans mix and the second one an Easter egger mix.
 
I'd like ya to have a go at some of my little guys, if you don't mind!

The following are birds from TSC (I do not know what hatchery they use)...

The first two chicks, Hoot and Holler, were labeled as pullets. But were they Ameraucana? Aracauna? I don't remember... I don't think they look like Ameraucanas, but I am no expert.
Also, what would you call their colours? Is Holler a partridge?

The next two were labeled, of course, "Assorted Bantam"... they have the stiff little upright tails when they aren't being held against their will lol (if you want to take a stab at gender, too, feel free!)

I have two other unknown bantams, but I haven't banded and photographed them just yet.

I can't speak to the bantams, but Hoot and Hollar are both easter eggers. They don't look like ameraucana at all, since they don't have the muffs and beard, wrong color legs and don't have a color pattern that matches the ameraucana SOP.
Additionally, they can't be araucana because those are rare and hard to find, expensive too. I have 5, and the SOP on them calls for rumpless, tufted as their most defining features, besides specific colors.
Here's the Ameraucana Breeder's Club breed gallery:

Here's the Araucana Club of America's Standards Of Perfection (SOP) page, which includes pics if you click on the individual colors...

The two lavender ones look like Old English Game bantams to me. I have two cockrels. Didn't luck up with a pullet. Depending on age, yours look like pullets to me.
This one is 8-10 weeks. His comb is floppy and almost purple.

this guy is 8 months. A much better example.
