The columbian pattern of the light and buff does seem to be the dominant result in the first generation crosses (F1). Breeding these cross chicks back to a dark, or even each other could make it more interesting.
Last year I put a light cockerel over some of my best silver laced hens. The chicks pattern was much closer to that of their sire.
