What does a Silver Blue Bantam Cochin look like? Can anyone show me?

I am in correspondence with someone that has Bantam Cochin colors that I have been wanting to get, but he also has a color I've never heard of before, Silver Blue. It sounds pretty, and I am trying to picture it in my head. It wasn't on Feathersite that I could see, so does anyone have a picture I could use as reference before I tell this person that I want some? I may get some just cause I love Cochins so much, but first I'd like to see what the bird looks like!

I've never heard of silver blue. Like to see it tho!
Are you sure he doesn't mean lavender?

"silver blue" may just be some creation by this person... it isn't a standard color.

or maybe it's "blue" and they decided to spice it up a bit

I would guess blue birchen? Except I think Henk said that it cannot exist?

Blue birchen can exist (I've got some).....silver blue marans.

Interesting. Turns out he doesn't have all the colors that I want, well not all of them. He only has two of the four colors that I want. I'll just have to wait til he reposts his auction again and I can bid when he adds all four colors in. I suspected the Silver Blue was a designer color, but it would be pretty to have in my flock nonetheless!

Here is a Silver Blue cochin I used to have. Silver Blue is blue birchen.

Compared to Birchen

Silver Blue is Blue Birchen just as Lemon Blue is Blue Brown Red...

Found a pic of Silver Blue cochin hen.

Ahh...that gives me a base to go off of. Honestly, I think I like the normal Birchen coloring better. More of a contrast between the black and the white than there is between the blue and white. But at least now I have an idea of what they look like.
