I would try capturing a few different pics of it when the color is funny so that you can show the vet what you're seeing here.

I gotta say, he is just a BEAR CUB cutie, my gosh! So flippin cute. His fur texture looks just awesome too.
He's so precious. I also see the difference. I've seen a tongue much bluer than that with three of my babies through the years, but two had issues with collapsing trachea and one with congestive heart failure. I've also seen the tongue look like that with exertion with my baby with the severe collapsing trachea. Still, it may be nothing at all, and I suspect your baby is just fine. I would do as Ann said and also try to take photos. My little Gracie's tongue and breathing was always pretty bad from the half hour trip in the car and the excitement of going to the vet, so it was easy for my vet to see without pictures.
