black gold off colors?

[bryngyld]

OK, I was told to select the most solid buff colored F1 offspring.  I\'m wondering why I wouldn\'t save some laced ones if I was crossing to buff to get that lacing.  

I also wonder if some of my buffs are too \"red\".  

Then my blue LF crosses gave me a blue cockerel that is orange instead of yellow.  I never got an orange in my bantams!  Is this a bad color?
