Hi!! So we are curious if anyone has photos of blue Orpington x barred rock or blue Orpington x buff Orpington? I’m excited to see them! Thank you so much!

Both blue x buff and blue x barred would give you blue and black chicks.
Barred x blue would give cockerels faint barring

I am curious too. I read elsewhere about lavender x buff crosses and came across posts that the buff color bleeds through so instead of pure black, you will get a cross that has various "bleeding" of buff on an otherwise black bird. I will search for those post and copy them here. (my understanding is lavender is a recessive lightening of black plumage, and therefore any cross with lavender will result in black in the offspring - lavender is essentially a diluted black)

Check out this post of a lavender x buff cross. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/lavender-x-buff-orpington-cross.982278/page-4#post-16431730

Based no this, I think a blue x buff cross will result in some bleeding of the buff onto the black in the offspring. I'd love to see pictures too. I hope someone has pics to share!
