I really can't say for sure if that guy will give you nice clean blacks or not. I'd try it and see, hopefully will be better than using a male with gold or red showing. When you start talking about multiple color/breed crosses, all bets are off. It's much easier to predict one pure thing x one pure thing. Most of the things about color I know by having done the crosses and figured out why I got what I got. I don't know it all yet, and probably never will.

He's a black and white.splash so all he will produce is black or black and white splashes.
nd if he's got blue.in him then you may get blues or blue splashes too.

Sumatra.
As you can see Sumatra in western European countries are very red in the face often. Mostly these birds were of the more gametype imports of Sunda islands. The later bred showbirds are darker faced.
Some of mine were pretty game.
