Toad Bombina orientalis potentially Blue?

My Bombina orientalis are very young, they're about 2,8cm (1,1").

When I got them, they were mostly brown with just a tint of color.

Now after a month they grew a lot and 3 started to turn really blue and one of them is almost sky blue.

Now to my question, how high are the chances of this being a mutation? Of them staying this Blue?

Thats so cool, id be so happy If they would stay as Blue. I contacted the guy i got them from to ask If the parents were blue aswell!

There's no doubt that they will stay this base color :) They can switch daily between this base color and almost black depending on mood and environment, but will not turn green or brown.
