Angles on Christmas Tree in Puzzle!

Four angels sat on the Christmas tree amidst other ornaments. Two had blue halos and two - yellow. However, none of them could see above his head.

Angel A sat on the top branch and could see the angels B and C, who sat below him. Angel B, could see angel C who sat on the lower branch. And angel D stood at the base of the tree obscured from view by a thicket of branches, so no one could see him and he could not see anyone either.

Which one of them could be the first to guess the color of his halo and speak it out loud for all other angels to hear?

How their logical skills are challenged?

Case 1 :

The angel A observes that the aureoles of B and C are of the same color. Then, A can be sure that the color of own aureoles must be other than that of B and C.

So, A will be the first to guess the correct color in case he observes 2 same colored aureoles B and C.

Case 2 :

The angle D notices that the color of aureoles of B and C are different. Now, A has to remain silent. The silence of A suggests B that the color of aureole of B must be different than the C.

So, in that case, B will be the first one to guess correct color of own aureole.

However, C has no chance to guess the color of own aureole unless, A or B reveals color of own aureole. And D has absolutely no chance of correct guessing the color of own aureole.
