What color is this silkie chick?

Update. I'm kind of leaning towards white still not sure though. (Definitely approaching the awkward teenage phase🤣)

The yellow in its feathers are from duck poop. I'll give her a bath tomorrow, and update you again but if these pictures help I would love to hear feedback 🙂
 
I am leaning towards white also!! I have read that if they are silver based white, that is what can cause the silvery looking color at hatch, until they start growing their white feathers in! I would take a guess that is what is going on with this cute. Sure is a cutie 🥰

Thank you! I'll keep you posted.
 
Update! Still not completely sure.

I am still leaning towards white! If lavender, it would have tiny faint black stripes through the feathers!
 
One more baby that had hatched this morning with the same coloring, while another is hatching once he's dry I'll post pics.

The yellow tint is from the egg.
