Hello! We recently got this sweet female budgie named Lily! I was wondering if anyone could tell me the exact color she is? (On her face she has a tiny hint of yellow, but you can’t really tell in the pictures for some reason) I can't find one online that looks like her so I'd love some help on it! Also, if she breeds with one of my male parakeets what color will the babies be? (One of my males is dark green and the other is blue) Thanks!

There is quite a few different mutations going on in this bird.
Yellow face type 1, opaline single factor dominant pied cobalt, with possibly dilute in there as well. Yes, I do think she is a dilute as well. That’s my best guess.

We are not Vets, Avian or otherwise. If you have any serious doubts about your budgies' health an appointment with an Avian vet should always be your first point of call.

She's very pretty, I agree with Hezz on the mutation, it looks about right.
