What color is this?

[Wolfefarmyard]

Hello, I have a bantam bearded silkie mixed with a silkied serama. This is the offspring, I have never seen this color or pattern before. It's white with buff colored splashes on it. Here is a picture:

My guess is just a lighter version if buff. Maybe it'll darken as it molts and feathers out

What colors were the parents? It looks white with soiled feathers.

I have no idea what color that the parents were, we bought it from someone else. All that they said was that the mother was a show bantam bearded Silkie and the father was a Malaysian silkied serama. The feathers are very clean, even the person who we bought it from said that they had never seen that color before, so it should turn out interesting.

White Silkies tend to be recessive white. One parent could be a paint silkie, which is heterozygous dominant white. The serama could be buff. It could be heterozygous dominant white with buff/gold leakage.

That's what I was thinking, but I had never seen it as splashes instead if just leakage around the neck ect.

Thank you
