Is this pullet considered "white" or "cream" or what? She has a teeny tiny patch (consists of 1 feather) of gray. Does that change what color she's called?

My daughter and I love this sweet tiny pullet. Hard to believe that at not even 2 lbs, she's at the top of the pecking order in a flock of standard size birds. She's definitely not a bully to anyone but they all know better than to mess with her and to move out of her way. Even the hormonal boys seem to respect her more.

Thank you! So the gray feather doesn't change anything? I wonder if she'll get anymore gray after a molt? This feather is the same size as the others, so it's not new, but I've only noticed it in the past 2 to 3 months.
 
Its considered leakage "any undesired colored feathers". It could go away or come back with the next molt. Coming back is more likely. Small chance of it getting worse.
