Here’s a Golden Lace Wyandottey

What is his coulor name?

I would agree that he looks like a cross of colors, not conforming to any standard or pure for a specific color. This being a very common look for barnyard cross birds. If I had to pick something to call him.. I'd probably go with "Black with leakage".. Noting that the leakage is an indicator of poor breeding quality with regards to standard colors though perhaps not regarding health and also not an actual judgement on my part, no rudeness intended.

Here's a link that includes many of the possibilities currently known, for your own comparison purposes..

He's not pure wyandotte, though he could be a wyandotte cross (rose comb is a good sign, though not certain). His wyandotte parent could be either a silver laced black or a gold laced black wyandotte (technically even a blue laced red).

He's black with golden/yellow leakage, meaning he carries both a silver (the white that appears on a pure silver laced black wyandotte) and a gold gene--together they make a strawy, lemony color.

As for his pattern--I'd guess he has a birchen gene (and probably a partridge from a wyandotte parent)

His wyandotte parent could be either a silver laced black or a gold laced black wyandotte (technically even a blue laced red).

A picky detail about color names: it matters where you put the "black" in the name of those varieties.

The usual names are Silver Laced and Gold Laced.
They can also be called Black Laced Silver and Black Laced Gold.
Each has black lacing (edge of the feather), with Silver or Gold in the middle of the feather.
When those colors were named, I don't think anyone had considered that the lacing could be other colors than black, so they just called them Gold or Silver because that was the difference between the two.

Blue Laced Red has blue lacing (edge of the feather) with red in the middle of the feather.

If a chicken were Silver Laced Black, that would mean silver lacing (edge of the feather) with black in the middle of the feather. Gold Laced Black would mean gold lacing (edge of the feather) with black in the middle of the feather. Those combinations are definitely not common, and may exist at all.
