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?

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?

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.
