T. gigas and the IJ typically range from a purple-ish blue to a sea blue. They definitely have blue tongues, just not as much as some Aussie species.

It depends on the animal, not species.

Re: halmaheras vs indonesians
Regarding tongue color, shingles have a reputation for a dark, deep blue (which recall a few Aussies proving this is not always true) and gigas having a tongue that is blue on the tip and fades to pink (which is also not always true). I think Richard has a centralian hat has a pink tongue.
To say one species has the bluest tongue is near impossible. You should be more concerned about temperament rather than tongue color, IMO.
