Yes, the lacing on blues is the darker blue edging or lacing defining the outer edge of the feathers.

--- Quote ---leg color that looks like a layer of slate underneath and white or clear layered over. Is this acceptable?
--- End quote ---

Yes, slate (or blue) legs are from a dark dermis and clear epidermis.  Willow (or green) legs are from a dark dermis and yellow epidermis.
There is a good article on leg color in the 1982 edition of the Ameraucana Breeders Club Handbook.  Copies of all three Handbooks are available for $5 each, which includes postage, from the club.

Guest:
Sorry to keep pestering ... what about the eye color? Thanks for all your help.

Both the ABA & APA Standards say \"reddish bay\"
