English Chocolate Orpingtons and a Dun Gene?

I bought his as CC but I was told his brown is too yellow . I've also heard he was considered Khaki

His sire had what i would consider as yellow or almost lemon. Some of Omega Hill's CCO pics look similar.

Double barring(B/B) dilutes the Chocolate color to A Khaki or lemon shade
 
Khaki(I^d/I^d), Double Barred(B/B) males are Nearly White, they are calles Ghost Barred in the hackle business

If they are actually dun, I'd be very interested in getting some eggs or chicks from you. But to my knowledge there aren't any dun-based Orps in the states.
Is it possible for two chocolates to produce what appears to be mauve but then feathers out a cream white color? Recessive white? Hen is the mother of the rooster.

It would be possible for them to carry recessive white. I'd be interested to see the chick as it keeps feathering out.
 
Does anyone even know what dun looks like, I see different threads about it but have only seen it in other breeds, which look like my Mauves. Just confused on this whole Dun thing.
