This blue is confusing me

[BirdLuver09]

I'm usually pretty good at looking at a budgie and spouting off it's mutation

but this lil girl of mine has me confused

I've owned Yellow Face type 2 Sky blues - She doesn't match that

I have Sky blues - She doesn't match them (well the pics normally make her look that way but she's not that bright)

I know she is Opaline, and she is Clear Flight pied & I know she's yellow face But my lord what is her blue considered?

I thought cobalt But wasn't sure what a Yellow Face 2 Cobalt blue looked like I only seem to see it/ read Yellow Faces being on Sky blue

but she is a type 2 she has yellow on her wings(again doesn't like to show up in the pics) and she has a patch of yellow on her rump right under her patch of blue - which I think is too cute.

The one pic i'm attaching I did my best at point out the Yellow patch on her rump.

So what would you all consider her blue to be called?

This is the one i tried to point out the yellow patch (getting good pics would be a lot easier if they'd just hold still and let me get some pictures lol)







The upper parts of her wings are where the yellow is - where the Markings stop and the white stops it's a yellow wash I guess is how to put it but of course in my pictures it comes out all white


P.S. The reason I know she doesn't match sky blues is because 1 she came with a Normal Sky blue - the color didn't match 2, I have her paired to a Sky blue Clear Flight opaline and still the color blue doesn't match sky blues are about 3 times brighter then hers. In person

Hmmm. She looks sky blue to me but I know how pics are. I'm interested in this now. Someone needs to come along and check this out. HEY! BUDGIE EXPERTS! WHERE ARE YA?!

LOL My birds love to confuse me

But I forgot to mention she has violet around her neck you can see it fairly decently in the 2nd pic


Here she is with a Sky Blue Opaline, Not the best pic they both moved on me their cage door is small so my big bulky camera doesn't fit in well lol but you can see they're 2 different shades of blue

(and i use paper to cover my flash so it doesn't make it extremely bright & gets closer to the actual color )

I'm thinking that she is cobalt and the Opaline is fading the blue color slightly.

I was thinking that or Violet cobalt

just wanted some other opinions - It's for my records, I don't personally care what shade of blue she is, she's pretty no matter what, but I'm a stickler on accurate Records
