Can you create a buff laced blue?

I found this photo on another thread (https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=290763&p=12)--it appears to be red laced blue.

That is one beautiful bird. I'd take one like that. Can you custom breed? Haha.

Okay I'm ready to give this one a try. What birds do I need to get them started? Don't care what breeds or shape just want to get the color created.
Do I start with a silver laced something over a buff laced polish?

Best take a blue marked buff columbian (sussex?) rooster over a silver sussex hen.
Best if the buff columbian is wheaten based.

Sorry if this is reinventing the wheel, but I am wondering what I will get by letting some eggs hatch from my Blue Jersey Giant Roo and my buff/blue americana and my buff dilute ameracana hens, can anyone shed some light on this?

Thnaks for the answer Henk. I think for now I will put this project on hold.. We do not blue columbian (Sussex in the US that I'm aware of. If I should happen to get this combination by accident by other crosses then I may persue it.

Again thanks alot for all the answers.

if its just the colour your after, why not get unmelanised blue copper marans?

That would probably be a good idea. Maybe in the future, as I'm not a real big Marans fan. Not trying to run anyones birds down, just a personal thing. When I get things set right around here (pens built and such) I may try them to see if maybe they will grow on me.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
