Re: Sold as "ice cream": pink pseudostem, maroon leaf midribs, glaucous leaf undersid
Blue Java is mostly green with a waxy sheen but can have some pink on the p-stem under normal circumstances. But often this much pink coloration is indicative of issues with nitrogen and/or phosphorus uptake, especially when coupled with a yellowish green coloration on the leaves. You may want to address that once you get them in the ground/repot. Amending with chicken manure, mulching heavily, and adding some kind of liquid microbial such as compost tea or JMS will help.
Either way, looks to be an ABB or AAB type. It's impossible to say what it is for sure until you get a flower. Would not be surprised if it's Namwah. Better variety than Blue Java in my opinion.
