egg color?

[rancher hicks]

does anyone know of a book that shows egg color to a specific breed?
I just wondered cause I just collected two eggs about the same size. One was under a dominique, it was lighter faded pink kinda transparent peach/pink (yes I know they're all shades of brown) the other in the nest box a little darker peach/pink. maybe I should go to home depot for some paint chips and give the color shades names.

I think that would be an impossible book or chart to have since it can vary greatly within a breed and also the shading can change in every bird's laying cycle.

This might help some but i have two breeds here at home and my hens differ in their egg shell colors all the time.

Thanks. My chickens are just starting to lay and I have 8 dif. breeds and wondered. I have four Dels and one of them lays dark and spotted eggs. Way darker than the other 3.
