The only certainty is that the chicks will be blue series since neither parent is green.
The rest is unpredictable since each parent is a different combination of recessive dilution mutations--greywing, clearwing, dilute etc--and unless they both carry the same dilution mutation recessively, the chicks could all be blue normals, though I bet that won't be the case.
As to which shade of blue, the cock is a sky and the hen appears to be a diluted mauve. If so, the chicks will be 100% cobalt. If the hen is a diluted cobalt instead of mauve, 50% of the chicks will be sky and 50% cobalt, on average.
