When running the cross calculator, I sometimes get certain colors like lemon-cream (usually second generation cross) and yellow-gold (many first generation crosses such as cockerel in the red sex links).
Can anyone point me toward some photos so I can see what these colors actually look like? I know there will be leakage and that it will vary some in which breeds were used as the parents. Im just trying to get a handle on the basic colors to expect, maybe match actual to theory,

For example, from the calculator selections, cross a Buff male with a Columbia female. The males are yellow-gold. Cross the offspring of this mating (both male and female) and you get a few lemon-cream males or females.
Thanks
