I think the genetic colour of what is called Lemon pyle, is splash buff columbian. I have noticed in recent years that some new colours have been given misleading names. Like the "violet laced wyandottes" which are nothing more exciting than silver laced wyandottes with blue, often made from silver laced males on blue laced females.
It is not really necessary to pay to get more "Lemon Pyle" because you can cross to buff columbian to get all blue buff columbian. If you breed those to your "Lemon Pyle" you will get in the region of 50% of each blue buff columbian & "Lemon Pyle".
The reason why I doubt that they could actually be real "pyle" anything is that pyle colour is wild type (duckwing) with dominant white. There are no wild type (duckwing) brahmas that I've ever seen in UK. I doubt that the bird in the pic will get a white breast as such. The white parts of the birds in the pics are not dominant white, they are splash. Lemon often refers to the presence of a gene called cream or possibly gene called dilute. The bird in the photos have neither.
