Definitely I'm thinking that her salmon is the correct color. I hit 'auto correct' and 'auto sharpen' in PhotoShop when I resized it and It may have pushed the saturation too far. But Cream Legbar definitely isn't expected to have a cream breast...which gets really confusing to people. I'm thinking that this example is near perfectly colored for the female CL
The male is lighter in color than the female..... Male hackles are very light, as an example.
Here is something that Punnett said:
“It may be described as a Brown Leghorn on a cream basis, to which has been added the barring factor causing it to be autosexing. It is also crested and lays a blue egg”

I think someone said that it is just like a silver legbar except crested - comment attributed to M. Pease, but somehow that doesn't make sense to me...JMO. Why would they then call it a Cream Legbar instead of a "Crested Silver". Seems like in my experience Cream is a different color than white. But a brown Leghorn on a cream ground...I suppose equally ambiguous since how cream is the cream ground and what does it show as -- has to be the hackles (where not barred), but the barring must also show.
