Yes, for sure PP. Color is not a good way to determine species. PPs can be various colors from pale creams, pinks, lavender, and tans -- to brighter reds, oranges, blues, and purples -- to deep dark reds and purples, almost brownish or black. It's all in the shape of the eyes, claw, and shield leg when you're trying to determine species.

That's what I thought, because the eyes are very PP. she's just the bluest crab I've ever seen except on google lol, so it threw me off
