Just wanted to add:
I think these photos are a good match to the colour of the birds in real life, but I think I should add the following: The bird in the first photo has a very pale yellow face and the same pale yellow is present in the wings. The greyish budgie in the bottom photo has pale blue cheek feathers not grey.
Thanks

Hi Jo and welcome to forum 1st Picture: Opaline Cobalt Female. The body color appears diluted and the markings brownish, so it can be cinnamon as well. 2nd Picture: Greywing Cobalt Male. 3rd Picture: Top bird is Normal Green Male. The bird on the perch is Cinnamon Grey Female.

The bird in the first photo has a very pale yellow face and the same pale yellow is present in the wings. It's amazing that there is not a slightest hint of Yellow Face in the picture

I think maybe because the wall behind her is an almost identical yellow!!! I'll get another photo in front of a different wall!!!!

This is probably a stupid question, but how did you get the photo to be big in your post?

Yes I can see it now. It's funny that now the budgie appears Violet or Mauve. And the markings appear more brown. So your budgie is Yellow Face as well as Cinnamon

I'm so happy to have found this forum. I love birds especially budgies but nobody else in my family shares my enthusiasm! It's so good to have found somewhere to talk budgie without the usual 'that's nice dear/mum' stock response!!!

A lot of us are in the same boat Tuffers! Their eyes glaze over when we mention our birds
