colours and their different names?

Post by pinkdevil »

I was wondering if anyone can shed light on the colours and the different names they are called. For example, a silver is also known as grey cinnamon? Sky blue is a blue cinnamon? And some people say a lutino is also called a yellow, while others say they are different, & a buttercup is infact NOT a yellow colour at all :? :?: I am confused lol

Is there a site that lists the colour names and their description?

Thanks

I found this site, it shows photos of the different colours as well. Hope this helps you. :D

Click on the mutations button at the top of the screen & then on the pic of the ringneck to get pics & descriptions. :D

Thanks :) Alot of nice birds there lol

It just gets a little confusing when there is a colour with associated names and not being familiar with the different names for the same colour it makes it hard when a bird is advertised as silver yet the same colour can also be called a grey cinnamon lol

Thanks again
