Smokey color gene in chickens?

These two hatched here in August; they have salmon breast (with a white streak down from the throat), grey patterned body, slate legs, and one has a crest. Other birds here have been identified as having dark brown and pattern genes, so they are present in the flock. But is the same sort of combination going on here, or is it something else, and is there a proper name for the colour(s) these birds are showing?

I think they're really pretty - and it's great camouflage - and I'd love to work out who their parents are.
Edited to add,
This is what they looked like as chicks (the twins in the middle)

and as you can see from the chick photo, they've both got the fast feathering gene (1 week old and wing feathers to bum).

I know about blue colour. But please belive me it gives no dominant blue in this land. I don't see splash last 13 jears. I found smoky when I cross dominant white with a FFS rooster. But with my blue chicken I have same result. This smoky on pikture have maby milanotic?
