Re: 2018 breeding pen... #2. TIME to guess....
I just re-read your 2018 breeding plans, and before I see this years batch of colours, I apologize in advance for sounding smarter last year than I actually am. And also to warn you about one other possible result of the crapshoot, er, poker game, and that is the colour 'paint'. I had thought that the paints I was getting were odd looking splashes. They aren't. I also thought that you needed paints to make paint. You don't.

Is this a trick question/hint? If not, I'll be gobsmacked. Or I'm missing something, which is highly likely.

If you mean is the Columbian Pattern yellow? the answer is No, just various intensity of the Columbian pattern on the background of "Chick Yellow"

Re: 2018 breeding pen... #2. TIME to guess....
When they feather out i would be interested to see if any look "lemon" aka gold leakage in the white.
If not then YAY!!! If theres no gold in the girls you should get what you want.
