It is difficult to tell the gender of a bird by their feather colour in most species.
Generally, males are more colourful than females. This is so that males can attract a female to mate with.
The best way to tell the gender of a parakeet over 12 months old is to look at their cere. This is the fleshy part of skin around their nostrils.
The cere of a male parakeet is blue or purple-ish.
The cere of a female parakeet is white, tan or brown.
If your parakeet is under 12 months, the cere may not be properly developed yet, therefore the best way to get the gender is to have the bird examined by a professional, such as a vet.
Male and female parakeets also have different behaviours.
Males tend to be more active and social. They tend to bob their head a lot and they sing often.
Females are bossy and may pick on males. They are louder than males but do not sing often.
