What happens feather color wise if I breed this hen (she’s white with black leakage) to a blue splash rooster?

If she's truly erminette (which is genetically one copy of dominant white over an otherwise black bird), then breeding her to a Splash rooster will produce approximately 50% blue offspring and 50% blue erminette (white with blue flecks) offspring.
 
These are about 7 weeks old. They are a cross; gray Silverudd’s blue roo over blue eggs from either my splash ameraucana or pale yellow ameraucana (from a snow wheaten project) Is this white with black leakage or will it become splash as they mature?
