Between breeding a porcelain, a mille fleur, and a black mottled d'uccle which color would be dominant?

I would love to learn more about color genetics and have had a hard time narrowing down info. If I crossed my black mottled d'uccle hen with a porcelain rooster, what would the chick's color likely be?
What about a mille fleur x black mottled?

Thanks in advance!
 
Black mottled is solid black with the mottling gene expressed, solid black being dominant over pretty much everything else pattern-wise so that's primarily what you'll see in the offspring with either father. All three patterns have the mottling gene, so the offspring will also be mottled. You'll likely see varying amounts of gold color leakage as well. So you'd end up with what looks mostly like more Black Mottleds but with gold leaking through as they feather in.

The offspring from the Porcelain father will also carry, but not express, lavender. It's a recessive gene so must be inherited from both parents to express.
