What variety are we?

There are links on this page which describe different colors: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Guineas/BRKGuineas.html

Some of them are really difficult to tell until they are about 5-6 months old (after their last moult). Most of ours are pearls and lavenders; I think we may have a royal purple and a buff in this last batch. I have 30 eggs in the incubator now and I'm hoping for a white and a pied in the bunch.

Whatever mine are, they do have a little purple sheen around their necks.

I had thought mine were pearl greys by looking at the keet pics. There are 2 pied that I was questionable about whether they were greys or royal purple it is sorta hard to tell from the keet pics....
Now they are 3 mos old and the purple is really coming out on thier necks, chest and back shoulder areas. I don't see any on thier lower back feathers though.

Since these are my first guineas I was wanting to know from people who have them if the pearl greys have any purple on them whatsoever or are they just grey with the white dots?
