What is the color of these?

Cockerel is khaki S/s on Er and probably Ewh, with a slight chance of being Er/E, chick colors as they mature will tell the tale.
The hen is silver wheaten with one copy of Mh. All the chicks are dun base and will probably vary in color from Er to Ewh.

Very nice looking! I was thinking something along the dun line but wasn't sure.

Here he is with a different hen.
He's not white, but rather a double dun gene which makes him khaki. There's no dominant white in the genetics. The double dun ie khaki dilutes what would usually be black to a creamy look. It's a easy on the eyes color.
If he didn't have the dun color gene, all the area on him that has the creamy color would be black.

These pictures are from the kippenjungle calculator to give more of a visual picture.
This color is khaki,

this is dominant white.
