I would say the Millie pattern no matter the color (blue,buff,red, or purple) 
would be ideal as long as the pattern is just like a mille fleur duccle pattern.
The feather should be 1 solid color with black and white tipping. Throughout the whole bird.
The type (conformation) should be full and round. With correct skin and eye coloring and proper feathering on feet's and legs to buns and wings.
I've seen lots of nice birds including folks here but not with the exact Millie pattern as a duccle yet BUT CLOSE.
Its hard to get both but folks are working on both type and pattern. I personally think type is more important and pattern is 2nd. Then go from there on combining both.
I myself have pets. I am learning and although I have calicos with not so good pattern, I'm trying to better the type. If I loose some color its OK to me. My type sucks currently and really trying to better that as my main focus. I prob will never get that "perfect" Millie pattern as it will take yrs and generations. However... I like the calico pattern too just as much as Millie. So since my focus is type... That's my main objective currently and buying stock from quality breeders that have beautiful birds and cross my fingers that their stock will improve mine.
