Exactly? I don't understand where the confusion lies?
The black, white, black; black, buff, black; blue, white, blue; etc. color pattern found on Lakenvelders.

The confusion lies in the first sentence you wrought, "What is the name of the Lakenvelders color pattern"
I posted Golden, He is a Golden Lakenvelder. That color pattern on a Lakenvelder is called Golden.

"The Lakenvelders", not "this Lakenvelder's"

I know the belted cattle are also sometimes called 'Lakenvelder'. So if anything you could use the term 'belted'

The color pattern is named "Lakenvelder".
A lot of domesticated animals have a similar, though genetically unrelated color pattern.

Lakenvelders could refer to 2 things.
1. The village Lakervelt in the Netherlands.
2. A white sheet (=laken) on a black skin(=vel) or field/area (=veld)
The germans claim that the fowl is a german breed...

Genetically the lakenvelder pattern is a melanized columbian partridge/brown (e^b).
The melanizer is a recessive gene (my own findings). I suspect it is the gene called "charcoal".
On a non "brown" (e^b) background the pattern would become more like the "quail" colorpattern.
When columbian is removed the color would become what I call "dusky" (ongoing project).
The silver or gold would be called the groundcolor.

In Europe there are no golden lakenvelders.
They are called Vorwerk and have a few different characteristics.
Combheel follows the neckline, type is more of a dual purpose fowl.

Yeah, well, I've never heard anyone refer to a bird (other than a Lakenvelder) as being 'lakenvelder' color, so I had to find out. So +1 for you, I couldn't prove you wrong

gumbii,
The OEGB that you posted is a Quail Pattern.
Here's a darker version.

Which is Black Breasted Red - Recessive Black - Coumbian
