What is the difference between Self Blue and Lavender?

Is "self blue" the same as lavender?

Yes.

You're welcome but here is a quote from something Chris said a while back, maybe he will stop in and she some more light on it.

So then.... what is the difference between lavender and self-blue? Is it a genetic difference?

As far as I know they are the same thing but I'm not quite sure what he meant by that so hopefully he or Sonoran will explain any difference if there is any.

Like I said all, "Lavenders" are Self Blue BUT not all Self Blues are, "Lavenders".

"Lavenders" should be a single uniform Blue color throughout plumage, making it a Self Blue.
Now some Self Blue that is a single uniform Blue color throughout plumage but may or may not carry the, "Lavenders" gene.
There are some Self Blues that are bred from, Blue (Bl), "Andalusian Blue" there not a Splash but a Self Blue and they breed just like Blue (Bl), "Andalusian Blue".
The Self Blues that are bred from Blue (Bl), "Andalusian Blue" tend to look just like a Self Blue that carry's the, "Lavender" but with better feather quality then most Self Blue that carry's the, "Lavender".

OK I know what you mean now, I'm pretty sure I have saw some like that before.
