Lilac or blue?

[FelipesMommy]

What color would you say Felipe is, lilac himalayan or blue himalayan? In the photograph he is showing up a smidge darker than in person, his feet and tail are a little lighter than his head.

Current picture (appx. 7 months old)

When I first got him (appx. 4 months old)

I think that he is a blue. What color are his eyes? Blues have blue eyes and Lilacs have a ruby cast over their eyes.

All varieties of himi have ruby eyes, so we can't use eye color as an indicator.

He looks blue. I don't see the pinkish tint that Lilacs have. He also looks too dark to be a lilac.
