I think she is dark enough now imo in the blue to show...but the tan is just not there, it is nice and rich around her muzzle and ears...and slowly coming in on her head!  Of course I would love to see her darker...but right now I think she has the cake..lol.   
I have a 5 week old puppy who is very nice and dark, but we have a lot of waiting to do to see if she makes the cut...lol.   
I will attach a couple pictures of Maia so you can see her... 
The first one was just a month ago, she was a couple days shy of a year! 
The second one is her at 8 months old. 
Last one is her color at 6 months old, her first show.   |  
 
  
she's beautiful!  Reminds me of my Radar!!  I think her tan is fine and wouldn't get DQ'ed at all....I think where the DQ is being played is in the puppy class for being black still and in classes older than that would be the blue not her tan...that's my humble opinion....
