Platinum or Something Else?

I recently hatched these two chicks out and was not expecting the chicks to be these colors. Her past chicks have all been duckwing and wheaten variants but she's been in with a different rooster for a while now. The photos of the parents will be a bit muddy since they've been out foraging. I have some information about the father's parents since I hatched him out.

Here's the chick photos. The older one is a white color with a bit of a grayish tint near the eye area. The younger chick is more of a pale blue color, but after looking at platinum chick photos I thought the second one looked more like them than the white one. The wing feathers on the white one appear to be growing in white at the moment.

Here is the mother, she's an old english bantam from a hatchery.

Here's their father, Pumpkin, his father was a satin roo (his hackles were golden, his tail was splash, his breast was sort of a white color with red in the center of the feathers, and his crest and saddle were red) x porcelain d'uccle hen. His mother is mix of various silkies and naked necks, she's a mottled black birchen frizzle. Pumpkin was mottled as a yearling (his head was almost completely white) but lost almost all of it, he just has a few white tipped crest feathers now.

Chick color, and adult color sometimes can be completely different things. They appear to both be blue, perhaps splash. Since you got quite the mix of colors in the parents you may just have to wait and see what they end up. They are cute. That much I am positive on.

Fairly sure the mother is black based but it will be interesting to see how they feather out. Thank you for your help.

Current feather growth of the white chick. Bit hard to see but it has a darker stripe through the middle of its wing. The other chick is feathering in as a pale blue however.
