I have googled all of the 8 colors for Americaunas and none of them look like this? What color is he?

He’s an Easter egger, and has a mixed silver columbian color
What makes him an Easter Egger? The woman I got him from described him as this:

"Pure bred amaracauna rooster. he is third generation from my white amaracauna rooster that I had, his mom was hatched as a second generation."

He has a mixed color and a large heterozygous pea comb (that means he isn’t pure for the pea comb gene). Easter eggers are often sold as ameraucanas.
 
Note spelling. The pure breed is properly spelled Ameraucana, as @RoostersAreAwesome spelled it in their post. You, OP, spelled it Amaracauna in your post, quoting from the breeder. Subtle, but the U is in a different place. EE are sold under many names that mimic the name of the original name, such as Americana, Ameracana, etc. EE are beautiful, productive birds but they are basically mutts and will not breed true as they are mixed breeds. They are usually far less expensive than true Ameraucanas.
