There is no such color as a "Lemon Black". I believe you are thinking of Brown Red.
Brown Red + Blue = Black and Blue F1 offspring,
Brown Red + F1 Blue = Black, Blue, Lemon Blue, Brown Red F2 offspring,
Brown Red + F2 Lemon Blue = Brown Red and Lemon Blue

Ok. I couldn't remember what it was called.

There are 3 charts (Black Breasted Red Family, Crow-Wing Family and Wheaten Family) and I have them posted at https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=343605 and there about a 1/4 of the way down.
