What colour Orpingtons will they be?

[Jinglebell]

I have one orpington chick which just hatched, Day 2. I bought blue orpington eggs but read that blue Orpingtons do not breed true, so it might turn out to be black, blue or splash. Does anyone know how to predict the colour? The chick has yellow down on its body with light black down on its head.

I'm gonna guess splash although I think some blues can be really light as chicks?

and yes! blue doesn't breed true, when breeding two blue birds together you'll get 50% blue chicks, 25% black chicks and 25% splash chicks
