Swedish black?

That actually makes sense, since lavender orpingtons are genetically black with two copies of the lavender gene. The lavender gene is recessive, so any offspring of a lavender orp with a non-lavender chicken wouldn’t be lavender (unless that non-lavender chicken carried the gene).

I was more shocked by all the coppering he got.

That should also be expected in a black copper marans cross.
