What type of Echeveria do I have?

The pot my plant came in said it’s an Echeveria β€˜Persia’ while this app says it’s a Pearl Echeveria OR a Blue Echeveria. I don’t know what it is. Another app I have also says it’s a Blue Echeveria. If you know could you please tell me? #Echeveria
Welcome to Greg! Glad to have you 🫢🏼

The single best person for identifying succulents and cacti is @vvvelo also if you add hashtags to your post/question that helps it to be seen by more people. If you type # a list will pull up and just choose the ones with the most members. And please feel free to join any of the groups!
It looks like Echeveria Muesli.
@vvvelo it looks sort of similiar but mine doesn’t have enough red. It’s just mostly green with some red around the edges
Edited: I actually agree with your statement, I looked up your species, and you are very much correct! Echeveria 'Persia' it is.

If you need help figuring out how to add your own species (for if Greg incorrectly identifies), ask me.

(I am letting you know that sometimes apps, and even stores, can incorrectly identify or label a plant. This year, for Christmas, one of my plants was labled as Christmas cactus, but it was actually a Thanksgiving cactus.)
Greg wants every Echeveria to be a Pearl. For reference, this is what an actual Echeveria elegans looks like. Wildly different leaf shape compared to yours.
@Catplantaddict thank you so much
@EcheveriaLove red part is depend on the stress. If your plant does not get enough stress it may not turn red at all.
@vvvelo I’m sorry I’m confused. Does my plant need stress or no?
@EcheveriaLove No, stress is not necessary. I was just explaining why the plant may turn red.
@vvvelo thank you for clearing that up
