Breeding splash to splash is usually not done, as successive generations become washed out in color to a dirty white. The best splash color would be expected from blue-blue crosses, which result in 25% splash (the rest being 50% blue and 25% black).
If your bird is lemon blue the color around the hackles is not a discoloration but proper pigment.
