What colors are my Prairie Bluebell, Silkie/EE, & Ameraucana pullets?

I *think* the Silkie/EE mix is a dark blue because of the lacing & darker head color (and she’s lighter than my black birds). She’s the one with the crest. I assume the Ameraucana is a blue. The Prairie Bluebell—I’m not at sure what to call her color… porcelain? Isabella? Lavender with gold leakage?
They are 7.5 weeks old.
Thank you!

The male PB is mixed color resembling Isabel.
Hopefully it’s the female we paid for. All of my hatchery sexed pullets have pinked up between 5 and 7 weeks and worried me… but, so far, they’ve all grown up to lay eggs. 🤞🏼

Thank you! I figured it was likely a mixed color since Hoover’s website shows various colors for their Prairie Bluebells (like EEs, I guess), but was thinking maybe it was a real color.

It’s a boy. 😬

Do you have any side photos of the other bird? The above shots are difficult for telling anything.

Here’s a side view of what I think is a blue (Ameraucana pullet from Hoover’s/Rural King purchased 3/20):
