What color is this dude?

Also if the father was a cemani and mom a sebright, I would have expected him to have white shanks, pullets of that cross should have the black shanks/skin? I am so confused!

The Sebrights has dominant white covering its lacing.
Nope, fibromelanism is actually dominant, but only expressed by birds with the id+ (dark shanks) gene, which is sex linked recessive. Since both the Cemani father and the Sebright mother have dark legs you will have only fibromelanistic offspring.

Thanks for the explanation! So does the sex- linked result only work with a fibromelanistic breed crossed with a yellow legged breed? Would not work with a gray legged breed like a Marans or an Ameraucana?

It works with both yellow legged breeds and white legged breeds. Doesn't work with the gray legged breeds or green legged breeds.

What a stunning rooster! I would say his color is cream, but I can also see some lavender and white in there too.
