I have been looking at these pics since I took them and yes they do seem to bring out the blue/mauve colors but looking at him in real life he is definitely a steel grey color.

 

Mind you he does have a mauve heritage.

From blue or violet parents ? What colour are his cheek patches Derek ?

I'll have to look tomorrow as it's dark and I don't remember

Oh he's lovely. You must be chuffed with your birds. I like the grey opaline also.

They are great look derek.

Parents were grey dom pied cock and cobalt hen. His cheek patches are a very dark mauve almost dark steel grey even.

That makes hima mauve and not a normal grey dom pied. In pairing him you might look for a good blue normal hen.
