Sounds like it did. Maybe with time you'll get more color as they mature and their eggs get larger.

I thought he was pretty, and he's sweet, and not a fighter with any of the others (I'm over run at the moment with 6 roosters, 3 grown and 3 young and up and comings out of the Aug hatch), so he can stay, no matter what he is, lol.
I do have a question, I nearly know that my young hens out of the Aug hatch are laying now, I'm getting too many eggs for them to not be and they are on the smallish side. BUT they are brown and blue. Now the blue ones had to of come from the 6 pullets that were full blood EE. The others are crosses of Barred Rock, RIR, and Buff Orpington, crossed on my EE rooster. I was expecting olive colored eggs, and not the brown. And I know my EE hens out of the same batch as the rooster lay light blue eggs, could the brown egg laying gene over completely overridden the blue gene?
