Still not wuite sure what you mean. Lavender must be present in both parents for lavender offspring; dun can be present in either or both parents. Lavender requires two copies to show, dun only requires one. Blue is a better analogy for dun as they both give different expression when two genes are present than if one is present.
choc is more similar to lav in inheritance, in that the bird must be pure for the colour to show.
That's right, dun and a. blue are more similar to each other than lavender.
Yes , like blue, it only takes 1 parent to pass on the dun gene. I used a dun quail last year and bred them over all sorts of other colors and patterns to start making duned versions of them in my d'anvers. They always have some dun offspring when you do an F1 cross, just like blues will make a blue on F1 crosses.
Though it is still different from lavender, chocolate is more similar to it than dun.
