I rescued this lil girl from a very bad environment. Can’t figure out what colour she is considered, her tail and one side of her face have hints of yellow like a golden would have but her eyes have hazel rings and her gills are pink like a Lucy. She looks like a Lucy more than anything in my opinion but the yellow is throwing me off, she looks nothing like my golden but kinda like a cross between a Lucy and a golden, Not sure if that’s even possible?

Since goldens are a type of albino and the eyes of yours are dark would say it is a leucy variation. It's super cool, I haven't seen one like that!
 
I always love seeing axolotls with golden coloration! From what I have heard, the gold color originated by breeding axolotls with neotenic tiger salamanders, and then breeding the offspring for the yellow coloration. Not sure if it’s valid, but certainly interesting!
Definitely a cool Axolotl though!
