I'm starting with my favorite color!
There is a lot of variation in both shade (warm vs. cool) and patterning (more laced vs. more scalloped or solid appearance) with these guys. There's a possibility that either "fee" genes or the same lacing genes that rosetta birds exhibit are at play with the wide variety of appearances.
The base color seems to be a simple dominant, which means that breeding charcoals to non-charcoals will usually get you about 50% charcoal chicks. My original male seems to be homozygous for the gene, so he throws 100% colored chicks.
