Blue or green laying roosters will produce F1 daughters who in turn will lay tinted coloured eggs regardless whether those hatch out of white, cream or brown eggs.

silkies dont lay blue or green eggs
Wednesday, July 4th, 2012
Anconas don't lay blue eggs, nor do silkies.
The original blue-egg layer is the Araucana.
Cream legbar is bred from the Araucana, and also lays eggs of blue or green.
Hybrids with Araucana or cream legbar in its ancestry to produce blue or green eggs include fenton blues and skylines.

A lot of egg buyers dont like blue/ green eggs.. they think you are selling them small duck eggs!

"A lot of egg buyers dont like blue/ green eggs.. "
That is very true for Irish buyers; at work only the non-Irish guys 'n gals are interested in the tinted eggs.
But I also find it difficult to sell white eating eggs to Irish people, they seem to prefer brown eggs.
