Peacock color question? Purple?

[Barnyard Breeder]

Hello I have a few peacocks that I bought from a lady and her husband. They loved keeping birds but never really looked into colors or anything. The one i know is a India blue split to white and it doesn’t look like anything else. But one looks almost like how people have described purple to me his necks darker and he is noticeably dull in areas Where the other is not like between the bars on the shoulder and the tail. I don’t have any good pics but will get some

Without pictures we can't tell you anything, even with pics we can't tell sometimes.

Beautiful wings with iridescent purple / violet feathers! ... RARE for black shoulder purple peacocks ... the wings are often different brown!
The question is .... purple peacock or european violet peacock?

This is him he’s in the back of the picture with a normal IB not very good pics but what my more experienced friend told me is that the easiest way to tell is that the bars on the wing would be a dark brown instead of black which it is and the saddle feathers would be more blue and teal rather than gold green which it is so that’s what we think is like to see if people agree

This pic shows the colors of the saddle and the wing the best he’s in the middle as the best contrast between him and normal IB
