In other words you can't breed the lemon blue to lemon blue that has come from above crossing and get lemon blue can you? Just asking wondering what the future breeding would have to take place to continue the color.
The confusion is in the name. The colour generally known, in the poultry world, as lemon blue is, as has been said, blue colour replacing black on what is essentially a brown red, i.e. blue gold birchen.
The birds being referred to here as "lemon blue" appear to be from an initial cross between blue & buff. It is unlikely they would ever be stabilised to the point that they would breed true to the point of consistently reproducing the colour of the initial cross.
I agree "Bluff" is a great name for the colour.
