What breed will give me a true tinted egg?

The blues and greens are from my Easter Eggers. The really dark terra cotta eggs are from my Welsummers. The next darkest eggs are from an Austrolorp/Buff Brahma cross. My Light Brahma lays the pink egg but she used to lay brown until she molted. My Rhode Island Red and Barred Rock lay brown eggs. I have a bunch of Buff Brahma crosses that lay different shades of tan. Then I have the Olive and Pink eggers that I hatched from my EE roo and RIR hen. And like I said above, my Thai hen lays a light cream colored egg. Oh yeah and I have White Leghorns that lay the white eggs. I think that's all of'm...

Thank you, I think I will expand my coop first then work on getting some of the breeds you mentioned, thanks for the info!!
 
That is such a good question.  I hope that the forum will provide all the answers that you need.

The above chart may give you some ideas....  
I love that each of my layers lays an egg that I can recognize who it belongs to.  It would be neat to keep my flock that way forever.  I have two Barred Plymouth Rocks, and they each lay a slightly different color of light brown.  IT makes me think that even within the breed, there may be some color variation.  
I have a chicken that looks like a Maran however her eggs are so beige they are practically white. she laid her first egg today I would appreciate if anyone could tell me what breed she is I thought she was Maran but I think I'm wrong
 
Yep, we can vouch for the SLW and pink eggs. We have one hen in our flock that surprised us with the unusual color. Wyandottes are known for their brown egg, but each hen can lay a different shade.. from cream to brown.
