The white egged leghorn gene is dominant, If you crossed it, it would lay WHITE eggs.
Actually the white egg gene isnt dominant, it is recessive. Maybe you are thinking of the white leghorns color? When you breed a blue egg layer to a white egg layer you get all blue egg layers. When you breed a blue egg layer to a brown egg layer you get green. If you breed a tinted egg layer to a blue egger you get light green eggs, and so on.
I think there is a person (maybe Tim?) thats working on a project for high production blue egg layers and they started with leghorns and araucanas.
I've done this before, I crossed the black ameraucana with the white leghorn. All crosses layed white eggs.
