all silkies that are standard of perfection color are to have black skin(gray/blue looking), and blue or black beaks with a mulberry(purple) walnut comb and blue ears if it is a purebreed. five toes on each side. urs looks to be a muddy buff x with a ginger red but he looks to be like he is crossed with something else also. he is the first silkie i have seen with no blue ears and about the 4th or so i've seen with a red comb(usually red combs are culled in breeding programs or considered pet quaility and not used).

my pic of nikki above is a partriage silkie her bum is the same color as her crest, has black skin, blue ears and beak, and a little mulberry comb ect she is standard of perfection color for a partriage although she looks a tad lighter due to cam flash.

here is a pic of a black i used to have. he is standard color with the exception he has partriage in his feathering that is why i sold him since i breed for showing. below that i'll post the white what they are to look like.
hope this helps,
