Isabel color x lavender

what would happen if you bred an Isabel Orpington roo to lavender hens???
So if I even come close to understanding genetics...the Isabel is a dilution of a red partridge gene and the lavender Orp is a dilution of a black gene...so you’d probably get a lot of black or red colorings? Maybe a small % of lavenders? Would be fun to try or see someone’s chickens who has! :)

Both isabels and lavenders have two recessive lavender genes, so you wouldn’t get any blacks or reds (lavender dilutes both).

Yeah, but Isabella is lavender with gold. It's not just normal gold duckwing
Isabel is lavender gold duckwing. Well, in orpingtons it’s actually lavender gold partridge, but it’s typically lavender gold duckwing. So, crossing (lavender) gold duckwing with (lavender) black is the same as crossing gold duckwing and black, minus lavender.
