If you cross a leghorn roo with ee hens do you get pastel blue/green layers?

I am not ready to make crosses yet, my chickens arent even quite laying, but I was thinking that when I do I might try this. Not for show or anything, just to have some good layers that add color to my egg basket.
So if I put my ee hens in a pen with my brown leghorn rooster and hatched out their eggs, would their chicks grow up to lay lighter versions of the eggs their mom laid? I have seen people cross ee roosters with leghorn hens and get light blue/green eggs, but I am unsure of how genetics work, so I am asking if the hens could be the color carrying gene.

I have a brown leghorn roo with my EE and the eggs are super light pastel green

The male doesn't influence the egg colour of the hen he's mated with. Your hen would lay the same colour eggs if she were mated with a Rhode Island Red.
