Buff is a common color in many breeds of poultry.  Most people have 
heard of Buff Orpingtons.  The color doesn't really fit gold, yellow, or 
orange very well, but somewhere in between.     I think the birds are a 
perfect representation of the color.  In the poultry standard, it is worded 
like this:  "Buff:  A medium shade of orange-yellow with a rich golden 
cast, not so intense as to sow a reddish cast, nor so pale as to appear 
lemon or light yellow."  APA standard 1985. 
Copy/paste this link, it's probably too long to work otherwise, you'll see 
alot of Buff.
