How do you selectively breed for blue eggs?

I know that to get a green egg layer you cross a brown egg layer and a blue egg layer, but how do you get the blue eggs.

By using a breed that lays blue eggs. Ameraucanas, Araucanas and cream Legbars are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

One must remember too that you have to breed a white egg layer to a blue egg layer to get blue eggs from them.... brown to blue will get you olive colored eggs....

So if you breed a cream legbar to a silkie, you would get a silkie cross that lays blue eggs?
