I don't believe there is a "best" colour. There are certainly some mutations that can cause poorer vision (extreme dilute, albino, sometimes barless etc) but most of the eye colours found in common flying breeds are perfectly fine. If anything, the wild type orange might be "best"...

Ash red

You're probably referring to "dominant opal", https://www.pigeongenetics.com/wiki/index.php/Dominant_opal Dominant opal and indigo are both dominant traits, so simply mate your bird to an indigo or dominant opal pigeon and half of the young will inherit the gene. Then keep mating the best ...

Yes, or a red.

Looks like "Ash red spread".

Yes, it is indigo - it is a dominant gene, so just pair this hen to a blue cock to produce some more indigo.

Can you please post a picture? Unfortunately there are a heap of different phenotypes that people call "lavender".

Pairing almond to kite is suitable, yes.

Pair your female lemon to either her father or her son to create more lemon cocks.

Extreme dilute is a sex-linked recessive gene. If you pair the cock with a blue hen, the daughters will be "lemon". Pair these daughters to the original cock to produce more young lemon cocks.
