That seems to be the trend in wyandotte also as far as showing blues. I have seen great lacing on the wyandottes sometimes be more of a factor than base color.

The lacing and lack of black ticking in the blue areas are more important than the exact shade of blue, which is quite variable.   It needs to be a nice, intense, even shade of blue in females - but can be darker or lighter.  Males will have darker color on top and lighter underneath.   That said, I think most prefer a fairly light shade which gives a nice contrast to the lacing - if there is lacing.
