What color are these birds?

[Dona Worry]

My two EEs, just curious what the technical terms for their coloring would be.
Rory has a LOT more gray than the pictures show, mostly when he opens his wings, but there is also a lot in his hackles.

Clara has an odd sort of 'splattered ' effect on her feathers, you can sort of see it in the picture without the flash.

She also has a lot of gray in her tail, and under her wings.

I didn’t think EEs had specific colors.

This is mostly because I found the CHICKEN GENETICS calculator, and it is super fun, my kind of toy, and I want to plug all my chickens in, but don't have the vocabulary for these two!
There are so many names for so many colors, surely my two fit in somewhere?

No technical names. I know the rooster has splash and the hen has blue. Other than that, the background has a mix. He could be part wheaten or anything. They only way to find out is knowing the parents or crossing them together.

Yeah they aren't really specific colors....sorry. They're just mixed.

Thanks! He is really striking, especially when he flaps his wings.

I had a bantam yrs ago w/ his color. He lived for 5 yrs. with me and LF chickens. He was old when I got him. Loved his looks.

This one has been in jail for the last week or so due to some behavioural problems, but I am hoping he gets it out of his system soon because he is soooo handsome I'd like to keep him around!
