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"

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.
