What's the next HOT breed/color?

Chocolate is certainly hot, and expensive, in Orpingtons, so it very well may become hot for other breeds.

How does the champagne differ from buff? Won't adding more mahogany make it buff?

Mille fleur is close to a rainbow chicken.

the difference is Lavender.. and adding mahogany to it will only enhance red pigment, making it more peach colored..

So champagne has buff and lavender?

)and chocolate in another breed already that I am sweared to secrecy on.

at the moment that's the case(the type of columbian buff, not the more complex self buff found on buff leghorns) , but work has begun on producing nicer Peach/Pinkish color by adding red enhancers and removing any type of diluters(except Lavender).. so a R.IR type of Red mixed with Lavender..

this type of Red + Lavender should give you a nice color..

If I understand correctly, lavender is not a color, it's a diluter. I'm a newbie when it comes to genetics.

I haven't read all of the replies, but I think dun and chocolate will be the next hot colors.

And I think Cream Legbars will be much sought after now that they've been introduced to the US. I wouldn't mind getting some myself!

That's True, Mahogany is not a color also, just a ground color enhancer...

there are only two ground color Silver(example Silver Duckwing) or Gold(example Black Breasted Red), enhancers enhance this and Diluters dilute them...
