Is my rooster's comb a bit too light for a silkie?

This is my dominant white silkie roo Cloud. His comb was nice and dark up until about 9 months old when it started to get more red. I'm not too worried about it breeding wise cause almost all of my silkie hens have black combs. I'm expecting his first chicks on the 23rd. Of course the only hen that was laying at the time of collecting eggs was my cuckoo hen that has light skin and a pink comb. All pullets from them should have black skin, so I'm hoping the pullets will get dark combs too.

Here are some pictures of Cloud. The last one is from when he was younger.
