First is a grey green unless it has a mauve tail then it is a true olive.
Flights are to dark to be a dark green.
The other is a pastelblue,i would say a 80% pastel bird as very green on back and head.
Hope this helps.

The bird is a pastel blue,no ifs or buts.
It has dark ,grey feet and black nails also black bottom beak.If it was a pastel skyblue it would have pinkish legs and light bone coloured nails and both beaks would be red.

The second one is Turq/Blue in my opinion- i have a female hen that looks just like it- with the exception of the head of course. But I am no expert. They are lovely to look at.

to answer your no ifs or buts , not everyone calls them pastel. Take a look at the post that is a couple up at the thread of my hen that looks similar and you will see what I mean.
