What would you call these Ameraucana colors?

[cassiadawn]

I got an assortment of random Ameraucana chicks a couple years ago. These are two of my hens. Any idea what color/variety they would be? (both lay nice, light blue eggs)

I'm thinking the grey-er one could be a silver, but what about the one with the buff colors?

Yep lovely Easter Eggers..... there are no recognized colors for therm as they are not an actual breed

Well, semantics aside, how would a person best describe the colors? If I wanted to find another chicken these colors, what would I call them? If I wanted to breed a new chicken that looks like them, what would I say I'm trying to achieve?

Wheaten?

It really hard to put names to the colors.

The Gold one is the most common found they are a Partridge based color. A lot of people call the Gold duck wing. The rooster looks very much like a Partridge Rock.

The silverish colored one looks like a Silver duck wing with Colombian added.

Good person to ask though @Kev

All of the birds in the photos are hens, except the buff at the top of the third photo... and he's a pure buff chanticleer.
